I have a pair of Bose speakers, and I am trying to use them with my Traktor Kontrol S2 (DJ hardware). The speakers are connected by both audio cords, (white and red) to the Traktor's audio ports, and the Traktor is connected by USB to my laptop. I can get the sound to come out of the laptop's built in speakers, but I can't figure out how to make it go to the Bose speakers that I have set up.
Have you connected the speakers to the ouput connection or input connections, if the are pluged in input you won't get any sound, they have to be connected to output to work it is a simple mistake so I thought I would mention it, if not there may be an optional shunt in a software program that will switch to main speakers or maybe a port connection serial or otherwise, on early computers they had com 1 and com 2 serial ports, they may have some strange configuration pattern just check around see what you can find.

Are you talking about the main out (the white and red ones)? These are meant to connect to a mixer and not to speakers. It's an unbalanced audio (RCA) signal. You can connect speakers to the 1/4 main out (balanced) jacks. However, you will need active speakers (speaker cabs with built in power amps). Or you can connect to a dedicated amp and hook speakers up to the amp. Remember, these are meant for live application and you won't get any sound by connecting regular passive speakers to any output on these unit - it has no built in power amp I suspect this is fully explained in the manual :-)
