Boston Acoustics BA 745 speakers. Plugging in a headset does not override the speakers.

They have headphone and mic jacks, but the headphone does not override the speakers, so I get sound from both. Is this by design, or is there something I don't know about?

The bass unit powers speakers. there is no headphone jack. Now on your computer there is, you can configure to turn off speakers when plugged in.

    Incorrect. There are headphone and mic jacks on the side of the left desktop speaker that has the volume and subwoofer controls. I'm looking right at them.

SOURCE: Boston Acoustics Digital BA735 Speakers with no Analog input.

I use one set of BA735 with two computers. Computer A sends digital out and Computer B sends analog. BA735 plays both. I listen to music using digital while the analog from the other computer alerts me to the incoming messages in Pidgin.

I did have to change bios settings on one computer to use the on-board audio.

To enable digital output in XP, click on the speaker icon > Advanced > Select Enable SPDIF. You can leave the PC Spk Mute unchecked if you want the analog output as well. That's all.

I hope you are able to enjoy the rich sound of BA735. It's beautiful. My ears thank a lot for replacing those desktop speakers. BA735 hardly takes up any space . Two small speakers are perched on the hutch and the bass module is somewhere behind the desk, completely invisible.

SOURCE: Dell latitude D620, no speaker sound

you will have to uninstall your audio device, and uninstall SKYPE and re install the audio device and don't re install SKYPE, you can do this by going to add or remove programs, and remove SKYPE first and unplug u r headset and mic, and after removing skype you can reboot the computer, and sometimes the conflict is resolved, otherwise then go into your device manager in system manager and find audio devices, unistall the driver or Update the driver, and reinstall it and the reboot, that should take care of the problem.

SOURCE: Boston BA7500G Speakers with no sound.

Well we have eliminated the laptop as a problem,.. that is very good. As far as what the problem with your BA unit is,.. we only know that it does not function with an external device (laptop and mp3 player). you already mentioned that a sound test from the unit plays through all the speakers,. right? With that lets start with the most basic item that will cause this problem,.. the cable that comes from the BA unit and plugs into the laptop or mp3 player. Is the cable plugged into the right place on the BA unit? Does the cable disconnect from the the BA unit? if so, do both ends of the cable look the same or is there 2 ends (maybe red and white) that plug into the BA unit? Please let me know when you can and we can continue troubleshooting this.

SOURCE: My speaker set up boston acoustics ba7500 will'nt

The Guys at Boston Acoustics helped me get my speakers to work. The Boston BA7500 speakers are coaxial digital speakers so you need a digital output on your sound card. Analog will NOT work. My new HP Pavilion has a Realtek sound card with a digitial RCA plug output. I had to go to Amazon and get a male RCA to 1/8" Stereo Mini Female adapter plug. I just pluged it in and configured my sound card to 16 bit 48 khz output to the RCA output and everything works great. The speakers sound better then ever, great for 10 year old speakers! They sound better then anything I have seen avalable today. The guys at Boston were the only guys that helped with getting this to work! Thanks again to them and Amazon has every type of adapter plug you may need. Good luck.

Drivers Boston acoustics

Looking up these speakers, it appears that they connect via a 3.5mm headphone jack. This type of interface does not require a hardware driver. Instead you need the driver for your sound card, download the driver from the website hosted by the manufacturer of your computer.

I miss some cables of the Digital BA735. Which cables I have to purcahse?

You need a set of RCA cables, Red & White, you will need two sets. The Cables, simply wire color to color. You nay also need, some adapters, if you cannot get RCA to Phono Jack, on one end. To make with PC, Output Socket, you need an 3.5mm Phono, Jack, and on the other end, the RCA, for connection to the Speakers

Can the Boston BA 7900 be converter to use with TV or DVD Player?

Yes, but so far I can only get the 2 front speakers and subwoofer to work.

You need a wire that converts a headphone-style jack (like the green one with the Boston speakers) into a red and white AV connection (typical CD/DVD, etc. connection). I've had this connector for a long time and I'm guessing it's under $15. You connect the green Boston speaker connection to the converter end (mine connects to the back end of the headphone-jack (which has a hole for the connection) and the red/white AV connectors to your TV.

I'd been trying to solve the problem too for a long time. Only problem is that I can't get all 5 speakers to work because I think the red/white connector doesn't work with all 5 speakers. I have yet to figure out how to make all 5 work, but the system gives great sound anyway. You will have something like a 5.1 system with your computer speakers, the Boston speakers and subwoofers.

One more issue is that if you connect it directly to the TV, you have to manually turn the Boston speakers on and off.

No sound

Try plugging in earphones to see if the problem is the speakers or the output from your computer. Also, your computer output may be low power output for powered speakers and your speakers are not compatable. You may also be plugged in to the wrong output on your computer.
