Windows 10: No Sound Through Logitech Z407 Bluetooth Speakers

I just purchased the Logitech Z407 Bluetooth Speakers. After setting up the speakers. I paired the speakers with the Dell 14 Inspiron Laptop. Intially I was able to get sound through the speakers. I tested my speakers with an Ion turntable. This was when I couldn't get sound. I then installed the Windows cumulative updateKB5039895. I installed a Dell Recovery plugin and graphics driver my Dell.

Logitech Z407 speaker - standby mode?

I don't have these type of speakers, but I'll try to help a bit anyway. My first question was: How is it connected? Bluetooth, micro-USB or 3,5mm? Can you post the exact answer of Logitech? But I think if found the question here. Z407 Standby, Dan Munch, sept 2021. The answer seems to be to a different question indeed. The 'hockey puck' seems to be wireless regardless, with two AAA batteries. As they are supposed to last 12 months, it seems likely they had to implemented some sort of sleep mode for this puck to make this possible (although I'm not sure how much power this puck would use otherwise). My bluetooth mouse also has a few seconds wakup time to save battery. As for the rest of the system, i don't see any off button, so it would make sense to go into sleep after a time. It would also make sense for this to be a setting somewhere, but I haven't found that yet. There was a similar issue described on reddit by justinrcary: logitech_z407_speakers_auto_shut_off - - - Updated - - - Michael Aulia from cravingtech states in his Z407 review: "What I don’t really like about the Logitech Z407 is that it auto turns off by itself when it hasn’t received an audio feed for quite some time. This means that it may take a few seconds (sometimes 20-30 seconds) before the speakers wake up from its slumber (or force them on beforehand by using the wireless control)." And under CONS: "Speakers go to sleep after some time and you can’t turn this setting off"

 

Logitech Z407 speaker - standby mode?

I recently bought a new set of speakers for my desktop. I ended up getting the Logitech Z407. I have noticed that when i'm not playing any sounds for a while, the speakers seem to go into energy saver/standby mode. When i then need sound it takes a second or two before the sound starts (i.e. the speakers need to wake up). Example: I surf the web reading stuff, then go to see a video: the video starts right away but the sound takes a second or two before it starts. My old speakers (10+ years old) were allways on and played sound instantly when required. I wrote Logitech support but the answer was weird - something about the volume wheel clicking. I tried to explain that i didn't touch the wheel, but they insisted that it was the volume wheel. TL;DR: Do newer logitech speakers enter standby mode when no sounds are playing?

 

Logitech Announces Bluetooth Speakers Z600

Today Logitech introduced the Logitech Bluetooth Speakers Z600, an elegantly designed pair of wireless stereo speakers that complement the sleek good looks of Mac and Ultrabook computers. With these speakers you can effortlessly stream music and other audio from your computer, smartphone or tablet. Three devices can be active at the same time, and switching among them is as simple as pressing pause on one and play on another.

"The Logitech Bluetooth Speakers Z600 were designed to resemble an object of art using shapes, materials, and colors that meld with the modern living space and complement the look of ultrathin laptops," said Charlotte Johs, Logitech global vice president of brand development and portfolio for PC accessories. "And with built-in Bluetooth connectivity, a first for Logitech multimedia speakers, these speakers are ideal for today's wireless, multi-device lifestyle."





Whether you're listening to music, watching a movie, playing a game or video chatting, the Logitech Bluetooth Speakers Z600 deliver clear, well-defined audio. With 3 drivers in each speaker, this system is engineered to provide superior acoustics for any space.

The controls on the Logitech Bluetooth Speakers Z600 are another integral component of the clean design. The entire top panel of the right speaker is a smooth, responsive touch disc. To dial the volume up or down, simply glide a finger around the edge. The other controls - power, Bluetooth pairing and 3.5 mm input - are hidden discreetly in the back. And because every detail is important, even the power cord has been carefully considered. Specially designed, lay-flat cables run between the speakers and the power adapter, so there's never an unsightly tangle of wires on your desk, table or countertop.

A USB Bluetooth transceiver is included with the Logitech Bluetooth Speakers Z600 to ensure the best wireless experience with computers. Connecting through native Bluetooth may be possible, but some computers may not permit audio streaming or smooth device switching. The included USB Bluetooth transceiver also allows you to connect wirelessly to computers that don't support Bluetooth. In addition, you can connect the speakers to any device with an audio output using the 3.5mm auxiliary input.

Pricing and Availability
The Logitech Bluetooth Speakers Z600 are expected to be available in the U.S. and Europe in August 2013, for a suggested retail price of $149.99.
