How can one directly hook up a laptop to this speaker? Will a male to male usb cable work into the usb flash on the speaker? or is there a better way

Hello we have this speaker and we used it for our renewal ceremony. We used a "Y" Cable that ran from our laptop to the speaker and it worked very well. You can find it in any radio shack or electronic store or even walmart. I hope this helps.

You actually don't need to go to RCA. You can use a regular MP3/Phone patch cable and get the 1/4" adapter like this Hosa Cable GMP386 1/4 TS To 1/8 Inch Mini TRS Mono Adaptor You then plug that into the mic jack in the center. It's a combo connector.

the hook up to the speaker was just two leads. as well, so was the power hook up.It should not be a big step to connect either the power or the sound out to a usb box.

No audio outlet because speakers are built in.USB connection that you much change your sound output destination each time you switch back to your laptop speakers.

Neither could I ! The USB port would not work with my laptop or MP3 player or other audio sources either. This unit has many other bugs as well. I returned mine after toying around with it for 30 days.. Sorry I couldn't really help with your problem, other than my strong recommendation to return it ASAP.....

Hi, I plugged mine into the USB PORT for power and into the OUTPUT PORT for headphones/speakers and turned them up! That's all. Check to be sure you have the right port for headphones. My Mac laptop has two similar ports, one for input and one for output. The output has a headphone icon. You shouldn't have to do anything else. You can test your output to see if it's the port or the speakers by trying a pair of earbuds or headphones in the port instead. Is there sound? If yes, then it's not the port! Be sure they're plugged into the USB port too. That's about all I can tell you. I sure hope they work! Mine are nice little speakers and when I need to I use them on my Mac because it doesn't have very loud speakers.

Don't understand went out won't connect. I use mine with my toshiba laptop every day. All you should need is a double usb cord.

The speaker (which is excellent and small!) just plugs into the computer with a USB (included)

Have you tried a Y cable with the red and white audio for the back of the speaker and the 3.5 mm jack to go in the laptop or a cord with 3.5 mm on both ends to go from the laptop to the aux hole in front then you put it in aux mode. That should work, it worked for me like that.

I have not used it as a speaker with my laptop but have connected it to download my music to the micro sd card. The sound is amazing for such a small speaker and it plays for a long time before it needs to be recharged. I know it connects to a cell phone that is a fair distance away but I did not see how far away it would still connect. Hope this helps.

Hello, I would be glad if I got your question right ,, I'm using M.Adio as an external sound card, it comes with usb cable and cd .. I think if you want to use the mic directly to the laptop by special cable I dont have any idea about it, I apologize and I hope you find what you are looking for soon , greetings

that is a great question. Which i don't have an answer for. But if you want a way to do it that i know will work... just a simple audio patch cord will work. 1/8 inch to 1/8 inch.. one end to the speaker the other end to your laptops headphone jack.

You don't connect it directly to your speakers per say. I have mine plugged into my computer via USB. Any audio interface (M-Audio Mobile Pre for example) will recognize it.

Unfortunately, that won't work. There are no USB input or output. You connect traditional speakers Left and Right to this amplifier

I looked at the mixer and it looks like the usb is only for plugging in mp3 players. You need a audio interface to connect to a laptop I use Roland UA-1G whith my laptop. Sorry for my first response I always just assumed that was what it was for.

I have the same question and there isn't a clear answer with rationale. Can anyone chime in on this? My speakers are not USB powered. They have a dedicated power supply.

Yes but it may not be the best choice. You would have to plug this in your USB and also plug in the audio plug into your laptop. You can get a device that plugs into the USB and connects to the sound through your USB, not through the audio cable. That would be the better way to go. It would be a USB Bluetooth dongle, something like the IOGEAR Bluetooth 4.0 USB Micro Adapter.
