If push comes to shove I could open up the case and look for the model and numbers, but unless essential I'd rather not.
I have looked again at the markings on the rear panel, however; and I can confirm that they are the same as in your sample. That is, the leftmost socket is labelled "SIDE", the middle one is labelled "REAR" and the rightmost is labelled C/SUB. The colours are a bit hard to read but, to be clear, I have the Green plug in the Side socket, the Black plug in the Rear socket and the Orange (or Yellow) plug in C/Sub.
Hi Robin, Pardon the redundancy, but this is the standard method that I follow while troubleshooting these kinds of problems. :) Based upon your earlier comments and the following resources ... Control Console photo: https://secure.logitech.com/assets/36048/8/z906-1.jpg -> Note: "Aux jack located below Headphone jack" (red line at right) Rear photo shows all connections at sub-woofer: https://secure.logitech.com/assets/36048/7/z906-1.jpg Logitech support article "Connecting a computer to the Z906" https://support.logi.com/hc/en-us/articles/360023401833 ... your only options appear to be "Analog connections", which are 1) 6-channel direct 2) 4-channel or 2-channel analog The 6-channel direct connection is comprised of three stereo (3.5mm three pole) plugs at each end of the cable bundle. Each three conductor cable carries amplified outputs for the corresponding (side, rear, c/sub) left and right channels with the third conductors acting as shared returns (a.k.a. "ground") for each output pair. The analog output sockets in the back of your computer are Gray + Black + Orange The input sockets in the Z906 sub-woofer are Green + Black + Orange So, the "Gray" socket at the computer end maps to the "Green" socket at the back of the sub-woofer. The other two sockets used at each end are Black + Orange. If the above mapping is in place and you've selected "Input 1" (6-channel direct) at the Control Console, your configuration and setup at the Logitech end (IMHO) is complete. In your original post, you wrote that YaST detected your sound card as a "Comet Lake PCH cAVS" and that "Some things work; some don't." Please run the following command in a terminal and post (or e-mail*) the "System:" "Machine:" and "Audio:" sections (verbatim, please, not edited / summarized) $ inxi -F * If you don't feel comfortable sharing this data publicly, please send the output to me directly so I can review it.
