I bought a pair of cheap USB speakers - "Muller M128 USB multimedia
speakers". There are 2 wires - 1 with a USB connection and 1 with a "regular"
3.5mm plug. When I plug in the USB connector, the speakers get power, but I
see nothing in the logs (tail -f /var/log/messages) and get no sound. When I
also connect the 3.5mm to my sound card, the speakers work.
Is it possible that the USB plug is only for power, or do I have a Linux
problem (missing driver or something)?
USB speakers that work without the 3.5mm plug are called a "USB sound
card with integrated speakers". For them to appear on the OS, they would
appear as a new sound device, distinct from the one built into your
computer. There is actually advantage for this not being the case.
