If the speakers are dead then I'll have to get a new set Sent from my SM-N975F using Tapatalk IIRC the OS will show Audio over HDMI or something like that, I'm assuming your connecting via HDMI? Just select it from the list under Select Playback Device (I don't use HDMI Audio so it's not in my image below). Its not direct speaker control but rather its controlling the output to the monitor I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a logitech z313 set. I had connected the green 3.5mm wire to the same green color line out port. Is there a 3.5mm device that i can connect to this port and see if it is working ? I don't have another pc/laptop or tv to check the speakers. Idk if connecting those speakers on a 3.5mm port of mobile is aafe so for now should i just check the port only?https://i.ibb.co/pjc7Swq/20210108-162103.jpg Sent from my SM-N975F using Tapatalk You can connect to a 3.5mm on phone to check though the green led only denotes power supply and on state and not if anything is connected to it. It should still show green if its receiving power from the power socket even if the green cable is not connected to anything afaik.

NitroNeo Posted January 8, 2021 Report Share Posted January 8, 2021 I don't use hdmi.

Walker Posted January 8, 2021 Report Share Posted January 8, 2021 Yup looks like the speaker is dead. Try 3.5mm to PC and ensure volume is up on both speaker and PC. Could be the LED is dead but speaker has power? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-N975F using Tapatalk If you have a monitor connect your 3.5mm to it's 3.5mm port and see. Click on the speaker icon in win10 taskbar and select your monitor as audio output from that. Even I have a Z313 set and the power LED died on that a long time ago, but it still works good apart from the little dial on the side being screwed, so volume up/down is erratic.

NitroNeo Posted January 9, 2021 Report Share Posted January 9, 2021 On which slot to connect though, i miss the good old days of just picking up the PC speakers like Z313 or creative a250, these new smart speakers don't provide wires out of box and there are useless indian reviewer videos online with only bluetooth connection. One review for https://www.amazon.in/Infinity-Hardrock-210-Channel-Multimedia/dp/B07W6VRZZD/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=2.1+speakers&qid=1610211928&sr=8-2 by bee tech indian youtuber shows that this speaker when connected to PC cannot get the subwoofer recognized. Check video below after maybe halfway when he tries to connect to PC I have made a list of three candidates Creative SBS E2900, LG LK72B XBOOM, Philips MMS2260B/94 60 W Bluetooth Home Theatre but these later two do not come with a wire that does into the PC and idk if the cable you mentioned can get the subwoofer recognized on PC. Anyone who has connected such speakers please reply if these later 2 will get the pc to recognize the subwoofer also Where is alpha17 these days btw ?

In box is provided an RCA to 3.5mm cable btw in that video the guy doesn't seem to complain of subwoofer not recognized by PC? He just supposedly plugs the cables to his pc, uses the remote to switch to AUX that is the PC input, and then shows some music being played through speakers, then starts complaining about how output isn't 100w. In any case you just need an RCA to 3.5MM cable if they don't give one in the box 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no option to control bass on this infinity speakers. I did not check other models you mentioned.
