Do I need to change any settings on my computer to ensure that the sound goes through this device?

Yes,If you use Windows I would recommend go to Manage audio devices in Control Panel and use Logitech USB headset as Default audio device. Every time you plug in the device,OS recognizes this as the primary audio device and when you remove system automatically sends the output to your speakers.

Depends . . . on Macs, no, on PCs, you will be prompted to set this device up (select the default settings).

Using a PC with Windows 7 (at least), when you plug it into the USB port, the device will install automatically and Device Manager will automatically assign the device as being the default device. No setup is needed.

No. It has to be hooked up to the computer. The sound comes from your computer's speakers.

Aka, If you are connecting to a computer via USB, you may need to "install" the JBL speakers on the PC so that you will hear sound.

It needs to have a port for the audio, otherwise you won't be able to hear anything! :)

You have to go into your system preferences and select the logitech speaker as your audio output.

I don't have an answer other than to make sure that the device you are connecting is not on mute and the volume is set. Really sorry I can't help.

I have the same issue too. I tried to update the sound drivers to see if that would help. It didn't.

Make sure you set your sound source to Line. Otherwise it won't play out the speakers.

The only reason I can think of is if you have overfilled the device, otherwise it should not make that sound. Hope this helps-D

I had to change the sound source on my lap top when I first hooked up to the HDMI converter. Check your lap top (or whatever device providing HDMI output) and make sure the sound is not directed to the headphone connection (or plug into the headphone jack to check for sound). If it is, you should be able to redirect sound from headphone output to HDMI output. This is what I had to do with my Windows lap top. Good luck.....

i'm running ubuntu and it works perfectly... nothing special needed to work... you may need to go to sound settings to make sure it's your default audio output.

You have to go into your phone settings. System>Accessory>Dock Sound needs to be checked.

If your using the system audio for speakers, you have to turn those on in the settings...

MANUFACTURER ANSWER: Good question, thanks for asking! Sometimes Windows will switch the playback device to the HDMI port when a cable is connected, even if that cable isn't able to transmit sound. There's a Windows setting that can be changed so that audio will continue to play through your laptop speakers. (You should only need to make this change once.) With the cable plugged in, you'll want to change your preferred playback device setting. This site has a good quick guide to where the setting is found: http://www.7tutorials.com/how-change-default-playback-recording-audio-device If you have any other questions feel free to email support@plugable.com and we'll be happy to help!
