My audio receiver stopped sending signal to my subwoofer. What is causing this problem?

I have a Yamaha 5.1 receiver. Velodyne woofer connected with the LFE input. It was working fine for over a year and suddenly stopped receiving signal. The subwoofer is working fine (it makes sound if you unplug the receiver end of the LFE cable and tap on it).

You need to reenter the setup menu, and ascertain that the speakers are set to "small", and that the subwoofer is turned on. Also, make sure that you didn’t turn the sub down accidentally (if it is too soft a volume setting, it will sound as if it is off), or reset the crossover frequency (too low, and it won’t get much of the signal to process).

Good luck - it is probably the setup.
