This speaker symptom cannot possibly be an Ubuntu/Linux issue. According to http://www.harmankardon.com/faq/showfaq.aspx?Region=USA&Country=US&Language=ENG&lstProduct=SOUNDSTICKSII , these speakers use a normal analog output.
What you really should be asking is whether your _sound card_ is configured properly. Are the levels increased properly? Please read http://www.linux-sound.info/alsa/index.php?task=support and tell me the URL of the paste generated by the script linked from that page. ** Changed in: Ubuntu Importance: Undecided => Wishlist Assignee: (unassigned) => Ubuntu Audio Team Status: Unconfirmed => Needs Info -- Low volume level with Soundsticks II Harman Kardon Speakers https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/114372 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
