It's possible. The optional speakers on my old HP monitor used to work
like that - USB for power, 3.5mm for sound. I don't think it has
anything to do with the operating system.

Quoting Shlomo Solomon <[email protected]>:
I don't really know if this is a Linux problem, so I apologize if this turns
out to be OT.
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)?
