Does this work with Linux? Specifically Ubuntu? It's a pair of USB speakers after all. Has anyone tried?

I haven't tried Linux, but as you say, they're just USB speakers after all, so I'd expect they would. I didn't have to install any specific drivers to get them to work on my Windows 8 machine.

Have you tested the digital (S/PDIF) IN and OUT on linux as well? On Ubuntu 11.04, the analog connections seem to work great, but I'm not seeing an option for digital in Sound Preferences. Wondering if upgrading to a distro in the 3.x kernel series would help.

I bought this device and I am using it. I am quite happy with it. My main workstation has Linux OpenSUSE 11.4, but I also tried it on OpenSUSE 12.1, Fedora 15 and 16 and it works perfectly on all of them.Kyle is right. Sewell USB SoundBox 7.1 USB Sound Card has a C-Media chipset and Linux is able to communicate to it at the chipset level. There is no need for extra drivers or anything. For me in all Linux distros it worked right out of box.

NathanJr is correct, however, mine didn't work at all, I was very disappointed, Amazon being awesome did get me another set of speakers at a great price...

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.

It works great with this: SYBA external USB Stereo Sound Adapter for Windows, Mac, Linux Extra Audio Source with Microphone SD-CM-UAUD

As long as you have the correct bluetooth drivers, there shouldn't be a reason this doesn't work specifically with linux.

I only used this with a Windows pc. It you have the setup software it should work. But i am not a linux uaer. I hope this helps.

This worked without any manual configuration on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. The kernel in use is Linux 3.2.0-67-generic. It is identified as "Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0d8c:0008 C-Media Electronics, Inc." by lsusb. The relevant dmesg lines are: [2845187.137277] input: C-Media USB Audio Device as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.0/usb1/1-1/1-1.4/1-1.4:1.3/input/input7 [2845187.137524] generic-usb 0003:0D8C:0008.0003: input,hidraw2: USB HID v1.00 Device [C-Media USB Audio Device ] on usb-0000:00:1a.0-1.4/input3 [2845187.215401] usbcore: registered new interface driver snd-usb-audio So you will have to check compatibility with the kernel and modules used in Ubuntu 10.04. But since your version is quite old, there's a good chance it isn't supported simply because this device may not have even existed in 2010. It isn't listed in the USB device pages, which were last updated mid-2009. https://usb-ids.gowdy.us/read/UD/0d8c

Is it worth getting this speaker to use with a laptop, instead of one with two speakers or a bigger one? Can it compete against regular speakers?

I haven't tried it with Linux...yet. Haha. I'm guessing you wont have many problems.

Hi, I have tried with Win XP, WIn 7, and Linux. IT should pretty much work with any OS except maybe the very old which do not support or have trouble detecting USB connections.Regards.

I'm not 100% positive. as I've never tried it, but anything in range should be able to "pair up". This USB dongle is nothing more than a small transmitter. I'd be very surprised if you couldn't get more than one set of speakers to recognize the same signal. I hope this is helpful.

Hi! We don't have a driver/software for Linux that will work with this adapter.

Will this work if my current laptop sound card no longer works? - Yes, but you have to plug in separate speakers. It won't be able to run your laptop speakers unless you hack the laptop I think.In other words, does it rely on the current audio card, or is it independent? - It's independent.

I have no idea if it will work with Linux. I did install it with a fresh load of windows XP with a minimal amount of grief from the OS. However, Linux is pretty good at discovering new hardware. Maybe contact the manufacturer for more details.

The disk that came with mine had only Windows drivers. The pertinent question is what is the chipset used in this Bluetooth device, because Linux drivers will be written to the chipset, not to the brand name on the outside of the device. The device looks like a Broadcom BMC20702 device to Windows, so I would look for drivers for that device. That does not directly answer the question but it is the best I can do.
