MintBox 2 -- Analog Audio Problem
Posted: Tue Nov 04, 2014 7:55 pm
Following on my other post (the VGA dongle issue), I'm also having some difficulty getting the 3.5 mm analog stereo audio jack to do what I think it ought to do.
I plugged in a set of stereo headphones. No sound came out.
I checked the audio icon on the task bar, and it offers only the HDMI digital sound output option.
I ran one of the sound utilities (Preferences >> Sound), and it listed the analog jack. I selected that option, and was offered a window with a sound test. I pressed the "Front Left" button, and heard the test from the left earpiece. I pressed the "Front Right" button and heard nothing.
I unplugged the headset and plugged it back in. It was detected, but there was no change in left/right output.
I unplugged it again. When I plugged it back in, the analog audio did not appear in the list of options. Repeated attempts also failed to detect the headphones.
I have since rebooted the unit four or five times. There is no change. Plugging in a 3.5 mm connector for headphones or mini speakers still shows no entry in the audio hardware list.
Any suggestions?
