I recently bought a Dell AX510 Soundbar speaker that fits snugly under my monitor.
However, my monitor, Dell IN2030M is a budget model, and while it does have the plastic grooves to fit the soundbar, it is missing the port where I could plug in the power connector from the speaker.
The speakers use a standard DC power connector requiring 12W.
I have the option to use an external power adapter like this, but what I'm interested in learning is if there is a way to pass the required 12W power to the speaker from the motherboard using a cable convertor, such as a USB to DC, or a PCI to DC, or directly from the PSU etc. Is there a way?
Update: I have this information from the speaker manual:
- Power requirements: DC 12V +/-5%, 1.0 A
- Total power output: 10 Watts continuous average power
