I got my new reciver today and its a yamaha rx363 and when listening to the radio I can hear both speakers and sub.  But when I connect it to my computer I can only hear one speaker and sub.  I tried messing with all the sound SETTINGS but its not helping.  Any ideas?What kind of wiring are you using to connect your computer to this receiver? Also, what sound CARD do you have in your computer?I am using a 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable and I am using onboard from a gigabyte motherboardOk, going to go through a number of things here.

First, check your sound settings that the output is stereo and that it's going into the stereo input on your receiver. It's possible that one or the other is expecting surround and that you're getting the center/sub channel.

I'm guessing you have, but have you checked that both ends are securing INSERTED? Not being in properly will sometimes result in only one side getting sound.

Also try rotating the PLUG while it's in, sometimes they don't make good contact, resulting in the same thing.

If neither of those seem to be an issue, try the cable with something else (an MP3 player, portable CD player, anything with a 3.5mm output). Make sure the wire isn't broken/faulty.

Are both ends of it stereo plugs or is one/both mono? (see pictures) Not to call you stupid or anything, but I'll explain in case you don't know. Stereo JACKS have 3 sections separated by two small rings, while a mono jack has two sections with one small ring. Using the wrong one can result in loss.
