Bang & Olufsen

Post by Klompie93 »

Dear All,

This evening I have installed Mint on my laptop.
Everything is working well but one thing doesn't.
My sound from my speakers is not working. I have an Asus N53JN with Bang & Olufsen speakers.

When I play sound with my headphone it works well.

Could anyone help me with this problem?

Sincerely,
Klompie93

I hope it's safe to assume the speakers connect through the same 3.5mm stereo output jack the headphones do...

Given that (as far as I know) there shouldn't be anything specific about a set of speakers that would cause them to specifically not work with Linux, I can only think to ask a few questions to try to get a sense of what might be going on:

1. Are the speakers set up correctly (everything plugged into the right jacks)?
2. Are the speakers plugged into a wall outlet and turned on?
3. Do the speakers work fine with a different computer or operating system?

Please also add any other pertinent information as every bit helps.

Unless they are specifically PC speakers they will not work. B. & O speakers have to connect to a B& O amplifier unit.

NS.

With the sentence "When I play sound with my headphone it works well." I meant that the 3.5 jack sound is working.
But not my speakers they are built in my laptop.

Ah. I wasn't aware that the speakers were built into the laptop.

I've done a quick web search and it seems you're not the only person who's encountered problems getting the built-in speakers to work with that particular laptop. This link may be somewhat helpful, as well as this one.

I hope this helps.
