Dual Dell AC511 USB SoundBar

Hello. I have a dual monitor setup and under each monitor is the Dell AC511 USB SoundBar.

How can I bridge the two sound bars, so sound comes out of both?

They are both connected to the PC USB ports. Both should appear in Sound Playback. But, I have never found a way in the Windows operating system to tell it to use "two" Playback devices at the same time. Nor is there a way to bridge or daisy chain two USB Soundbars.

Hi Jvassallo,

Thanks for posting on the Forum.  I've checked the specs for the soundbar, and I see that in addition to USB audio, there is an AUX jack for connection to a cell phone, mp3 player, etc.  Try plugging the audio input on the 2nd set of speakers through the AUX jack, and get the audio from the speaker output on the back of the computer.

Regards,
Robert

I am having the same issue. I have a duel U2715H display setup with both having AC511 speakers. I can only get one to work at a time. I have yet to find a way to bridge them.


Robert P -- Plugging one into the AUX jack of one and the other to the Headphone Jack of the other just reverses which one is silent. As for connecting the AUX directly to the computer it just introduces noise due to all the EM interference behind my desk. 


Chris M -- When I go into the sound setup, Taskbar > right click the Speaker > Playback Devices. Under the "Playback" Tab it list:

  • Speaker
    • 2 - Dell AC511 USB SoundBar
    • Default Device
  • Speaker
    • Dell AC511 USB SoundBar
    • Ready

The Default Device is the one the sound is coming out of. I am unable to enable it so both have sound coming out or enable it both default.

My computer:

  • Alienware Aurora -- Fall 2009
  • Win 10 Pro - x64
  • Motherboard -- Q4VWF2, BIOS A11
  • AMD Radeon HD 5870:
    • Driver: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., 8/21/2015, 15.201.1151.0
  • Sound: Realtek HD Audio:
    • Driver: Realtek Semiconductor Corp., 6/16/2015, 6.0.1.7535
    • Chipset: ?
  • AC511:
  • Driver, Microsoft, 7/9/2015, 10.0.10240.16384

If anyone from Dell is unable to help me online please direct me to where I may receive help.

Thank you!
