What would cause a subwoofer not to work?

Why has my subwoofer stopped working?
Check outlets, power cable, and fuse. Most subwoofers have a “standby” LED that glows to indicate active power.

As with the speaker wires, inspect the subwoofer’s power cable for any damage or defects.
How do you hook up a subwoofer to a receiver?

How do I get my Denon subwoofer to work in stereo?
You will have to leave the Denon in a stereo set up from the audio settings, think it’s the green button on the remote. If you use Direct or Pure Direct or have the speakers set as large then the sub will not be active from a stereo signal. @zapp brannigan Welcome to the Forum.
Why can’t I use my Denon 2808 without the manual open?
On my slightly older Denon 2808 you do kind of get the menu on the front LCD but it’s almost impossible to use without the manual open, but you may be able to struggle through using the front screen at a push. I think the main speakers are probably set to large and/or the sub is marked as off in the menus.
Is Audyssey worth it for a Denon subwoofer?
It is actually worth running Audyssey to better integrate the sub into the system. You will have to leave the Denon in a stereo set up from the audio settings, think it’s the green button on the remote. If you use Direct or Pure Direct or have the speakers set as large then the sub will not be active from a stereo signal.
Does the Klipsch powered subwoofer work with Denon?
I recently purchased a Klipsch powered sub woofer. The subwoofer works well on another system and the cable is “live” and hums when you touch the rca connector. However, when I plug it into the Denon the subwoofer does not work. The volume is up full on the subwoofer.
