Well I was wondering what audio manager is bodhi using, It detects my usb speakers but so far I can't seem to get them working. I've figured out that pulseaudio seems to be the only manager that can switch between my normal speakers and my logitech usb speakers. If in newer updates this could be fixed I would be greatful or if someone could provide me how to get my other speakers working I'd be quite happy considering I like to hear my music though quality speakers. Any suggestions jeff if you read this?

Hrm, never used USB speakers - but Bodhi does use just plan old Alsa - not pulse. I am going to be attempting to push out Alsa 1.0.24 this weekend, so hopefully that will resolve the issue (Good long bug fix list). In the mean time though -

Check the controls in the mixer module (Speak icon) and make sure everything is unmuted/if the speakers are listed there.

If that doesn't work try installing pulseaudio and see if you can get it working there.

I've never installed pulse before so really I have no clue what i'm doing there, but I do know that is what I need to do in order for them to work. Help please?

Yea I already had it installed didn't see it in the audio sound section. I got it working just can't use the wheel on my computer to adjust volume via pulse only alsa on my normal laptop speakers. I will manage since adjusting it manually isn't bad.
