Soundbar not functioning properly	Soundbar that is not detected or sync.	Once the USB cable is plugged into the USB power source, observe if the white LED light on the right of the soundbar lights up. If the LED is not lit, check if the USB cable is bad. Replace the cable with a known good USB cable, or directly insert the soundbar USB cable into the USB power source. If the LED lights up after replacing the USB cable or directly plugging the soundbar USB cable into the USB source. The first USB cable is defective. If no light is seen, after replacing the USB cable or directly plugging in the soundbar USB cable. Then the soundbar is defective. If a light is seen, and you still have a problem with the soundbar. Remove or unplug the soundbar from the system and restart the computer. Plug the soundbar back in and check if the LED is lit. If the soundbar fails to connect, check if the soundbar is present in Windows Device Manager. Swap the USB soundbar to another USB port. If the other USB port works, the first USB port maybe faulty. If the other USB port does not work, go to the next step. Test a known good USB speaker or device (keyboard or mouse) or try the problem soundbar on another computer. If known good USB device is not working on the same port, or the original soundbar works properly on another computer. The other computer’s USB maybe defective. If known good USB device works, or the soundbar does not work on another computer. Then the soundbar is defective.
