RPi 3 Using USB Speakers

Thu May 05, 2016 4:19 pm

I am a newbie.

I have a Pi 3. I bought Logitech's S-150 speakers. I connected the speakers, using their USB plug, into a powered hub connected to my Pi. The speakers have power denoted by the red "DIGITAL" displayed on the master speaker, the one with volume & mute buttons. My Pi does not recognize nor play sound through the speakers. All I've researched and tried have not solved this problem.

Please help! :?

This works for me to make my USB sound card the default: create this file

Code: Select all

sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
and enter the following

Code: Select all

# This sets the index
# value of the cards but
# doesn't reorder.
options snd_usb_audio index=0
options snd_bcm2835 index=1
# Does the reordering.
options snd slots=snd-usb-audio,snd-bcm2835
Save the file and reboot
