Plug the speaker into the audio output socket.

Turn the speaker power on.

Turn the volume up a little.

True, but it's surprising how many people either don't turn the volume up or they've somehow muted the audio and end up scratching their heads.

Default mode sound:

Code: Select all

sudo amixer cset numid=3 0

To force sound from audio jack (this is the one you want):

Code: Select all

sudo amixer cset numid=3 1

To force sound from HDMI:

Code: Select all

sudo amixer cset numid=3 2
