Peet, I still have sound through the internal speeker even wile the speakers connected. Other headphones work far as I know. I am guessing it is the speakers themselfs but not sure as I sill have a surface pro I might be able to test with. My linux machine did not work there either.
The cord has a usb connecter on one end which plugs into a USB port and the other end is a 3.5 mm jack which plugs into a 3.5 jack. Both are plugged in so not sure. What is going on.

First, do you have any other devices with 3.5-inch jacks that you can connect your speakers to, do they work with these other devices? Next, do you by chance have a pair of headphones that have a 3.5-inch mini plug? If so, have you tried connecting these headphones to the jack on your Mac mini? Also, if there’s a volume adjustment somewhere in System Prefs, have you checked it to make sure you have it at any level, like maybe even 50%? Another idea, if you have music on your computer, try playing a song or other audio content. I’m wondering if there may be something in VO that’s affecting things when you switch audio output from internal speakers to the output jack. Finally, perhaps something is muted? I hope these aren’t too goofy a bunch of questions. Pete De Vasto.

Oh well I guess I will have to keep hunting for something that works. Like I said I can confirm that they have power. VO just says name which is empty.
