What operating system are you using? I bought this speaker for a laptop running Vista (which worked beautifully, by the way, because it was configured for Vista). The speaker and Vista didn't work smoothly. When I switched from the laptop's built-in speakers to the Logitech I often had to reboot after I set the Logitech as my default speaker. Then it would work great. It was a nuisance but the Logitech was such an improvement over the wimpy built-in speaker that it was worth it. My new laptop has great built-in speakers so I don't need to use the add on. The Logitech's a great little speaker, though. What operating system are you using?

Your laptop appears to run on Windows 8 and the Z205 speaker is on Logitech's list of speakers that will work with Windows 8. http://logitech-en-amr.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/32433/session/L2F2LzEvdGltZS8xMzcwODY4NDI4L3NpZC9PQThRYm9zbA%3D%3D. Windows should have automatically installed the proper driver when you connected your speaker. I suggest you check with Logitech support and see if they will assist.

You need to change the audio output. Easiest way is to click on the little speaker down by the clock, then pick mixer. Once there, you will see DEVICES, from the pulldown, select your Logitech Z205.

Your Windows O/S may be different than I'm running as mine is Vista but directions should be similar enough. Control Panel>Harware and Sounds>Speakers. Select your choice.

I have purchased two of these. Had no problems as they work great. Try to remove the speaker further away from the computer. I found that clipping it on the laptop the sound was not good, but moving the speaker a little way from the computer made the sound more clear. Also, make sure there are no other electronic devices close by - like cell phone, or some other kind of receiver/transmitter.

Yes, this should work with any laptop or Macbook running Windows, Linux or Mac OSX. This device requires power from an external wall power supply (cable included with device) and a USB cable to act as the sound interface. Keep in mind that you will have to change your default audio output to the Logitech Hub in your operating system.

Can't figure out why the speaker is recognized by my laptop and then automatically goes into offline mode. The blue light continuously flashes but the speaker will not work with the laptop.

I'm not sure; it needs a usb port to connect. Then, simply set it on top of your computer and it should work. I have a MAC, so I had to go into System Preferences, choose Sound, and choose the logitech z205 for output. Now, whenever it is connected, it is automatically chosen for output. Very nice speaker. Looks like the Chromebook is a laptop. So, if it has a usb it should work. Amazon has a good return policy. I'm sorry if this does not help you. I have used the Zoosk & the GoGroove (red) speakers, and the Logitech z205 is best in my opinion. The GoGroove is super loud, but the volume control is through the computer rather than the speaker. Small inconvenience for me, but good sound.

I just bought Logitech's V20 Notebook speakers with a $40.00 rebate (if purchased by the 28th-July). Are you saying they are not honoring the rebates? You have not been rebated?

I have a 2010 Acer laptop with Windows 7...I just plug it into my laptop and it usually connects to my laptop. Sometimes I have to switch ports. It works most of the time. It seems that it is temperamental. I am not sure if it is the laptop or the speaker that is at fault. I still like it when it works it works great. I have lost a lot of my hearing due to my last job of over 30 years wearing a headset so the laptop speakers are not enough for me. Good luck is all I can say.

This is a sound card for your computer... It should make the sound work but not necessarily through your computer speakers... You would have to plug a set of speakers into the sound card and then listen to sound through the extra speakers... Their I a setting with the card that does allow you to play through compute speakers, but I am not sure it it would fix any problem with your existing computer sound system.A computer shound problem might just be a setting in your control panel under sound... Try changing a few of the sound settings to see if it corrects your problem... good luck... This is a sound card for your computer...

Adjust your volume with the computer volume control. There is a speaker icon on the bottom of the screen (I use mine on a Toshiba laptop).

It's so simple you must think you are missing something. Plug the USB plug into the USB port on your laptop. They will sync to each other. Make sure there is nothing metallic in the way. If all else fails go to Logitech's website for help.

Hi Deborah, I have been successful with my hookup and audio. At this point I would make sure your laptop supports a direct HDMI connection and that you have changed your audio output in the control panel under whatever O.S. you have. Hope this helps. Also, in some situations, the audio is going to default to the laptop if the connection is a HDMI Input. You want a HDMI Output on the laptop.

These speakers have an audio jack in, or Bluetooth of your laptop has that function. If nut you can buy a bluetooth dongle for the laptop and use that to connect. Hope that helps.

It seems to work fine but t was only the lap top speakers that were out not the sound card. Check your device manager to see if the sound card is functioning if the computer says it is. Check your sound systems. Its easy to replace a sound card in a lap top. And worth it.

Try fully charging the speaker first.If that does'nt work,get in touch with the seller you bought the speaker from.

Hello and good day. After calling customer service,I ended up returning it to Toshiba to get fixed. Since then, no problem. I also had a faulty lamp.
