Intermittent Sound using Bose Companion 3

Hello there I was hoping that someone might be able to help me out with my sound woes. My Bose speakers are great and have a fantastic sound but recently I have noticed it either uses one or both the speakers whenever it desires. I can unplug the speakers and plug them back in and they will work just fine. I did notice I was wondering if anyone else has noticed this at all. Sometimes it will just magically switch speakers from time to time or play in both. What do you all recommend I should do? Do you think it's the multiple audio jack playing tricks on me or do you think it's the speakers?

Intel IMAC, Mac OS X (10.5.2), 4GB RAM

+Hiya Appleriffic. Don't know if I have a solution but I too have Bose Companion speakers and I agree they are great. Not had the problem you describe myself, I just plugged mine into the 'Headphone out/optical digital audio out port' and they are fine. Personally, I would try them without the multiple audio jack first, maybe that's the problem, or if that doesn't solve it, maybe it could be a problem with the speakers, are they new ones? Also do check that your plugs are all fully inserted. Hope you problem is soon sorted. x+

Hey thanks for responding to me. 🙂 I have been trying the headphones for over a week now and this situation has not happened I am going to return the speakers and get a new pair tomorrow. It's a shame I really like bose so I'll give them another go.

Well the other speakers didn't work so well so I took the imac to an apple service center and they swapped out the sound card on it. It's been a few days and running fine. Will update later to make sure there is no long term effects.
