I was searching for a soundbar for my non-B&O TV and came across the Beolab 7.1
After som quick research i found that it was possible to connect if i only had the proper cable that gave me the trigger signal.
But even though i got it connected i did not get any sound.
I removed the cap to see that the speaker actualle responded to my 5V USB power - and it did.
It turns on.
When i hook it up to my computer 3.5mm jack (a bit more conveinent than testing in the living room) i only get a tiny tiny amount of output power if i crank the volume all the way up on the computer.
The same thing happens when i hook up different other sourcer with 3.5mm jack.
The 10.000$ question is - is the speaker broken or the cables simply just poor quality?
I dont own any B&O Device that has powerlink and i cant rule out if it will work with powerlink directly.
(The speaker was picked up second hand at the local B&O dealership - but before i start bugging them - i want to make sure i am not the idot ;-))
