The other wires are for sound to go throw had phones, they work fine on my comp with out them but you need to plug them in while on ps from what I could tell

Yes I just checked my daughters hookup and all she has plugged in is the USB. She says the other wires are for systems that don't have USB ports.

I don't think so. I don't use it for USB but when I got your question I put one in. It just started playing. I think that on the Sangean web site there is an operating manual that you can view. It might tell you more.

This part can sometimes be tricky. First, retry connecting the player to the computer with the USB cable several times. I know they say doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result is a sign of insanity, but in my experience with computers, etc., it sometimes works! Are you using the USB cable that came with the player? Either way, try using a different cable. The wires inside these cables are very flimsy and sometimes a defective one makes it past the inspectors. Finally, if neither of these two steps works, try connecting the device to a different computer. If none of this works, I think it's safe to say your player is defective and you should contact the seller and request a replacement. I hope this helps. Good luck!

I dont believe you can. Only thing with my game, i'm having trouble with, is that the wires have a short somewhere and is very touchy. Kinda sucks cause i just bought this recently. Maybe thats why they sold it. Hmmm

You can play music when you plug in the micro usb, but it neither charge the battery nor use the battery it will worked like you take out the battery of your laptop and plug in your charger. It could work, but it won't charge any power

It worked for me right out of the box, without any trouble, using PiMusicBox (http://www.woutervanwijk.nl/pimusicbox/) which is based on Raspbian, the standard OS for the Raspberry Pi. It sounds good, but I just bought a new sound system and I am finding that it is potentially the weak link, but it is by no means bad, just not an audiophile's choice. Also: I am not a linux guy. I am learning. I did no coding/tweaking/anything. This was recognized and played back with piMusicBox with zero setup.

The A/D cable does not work in both directions - the signal flow must be *from* the audio end *to* the USB end. That means you can not play out through your USB jack using this cable.You will need a D/A box to play out from your USB port to your speakers, and probably an amp as well (unless your speakers are powered). You can find these little guys branded as external USB sound cards, typically for under $50. Some of the nicer ones have gain and processing controls, but most will have an 1/8" TRS jack rather than RCA or full size phono jacks. When you go looking for a solution, remember to consider all the connections you'll have to make as well as power considerations.

Let me ask, do you have it on the charger? Because if you do, it will not play the flash drive. Just as a suggestion, return it while you can because it is very hard to navigate your music files and then mine simply got stuck on one song and wouldn't play anything else. Needless to say, I trashed it about a month after I got it.

George, if you use seratodj it's as simple as connect it via usb and start playing

I never got mine to function even after swapping wires. I ended up returning mine and getting a digital one for slightly more and it has worked great from the moment I wired it in. Good luck. If the wire swap doesn't work, then returning it might be your best option.

It doesn't work on mine, not sure what the problem is, but it doesn't appear to be wired properly to work. I've tried swapping the cables around that I attach to it with no luck even. No video, no audio, only static when all three are connected to my RetroPi Emulator and a TV

Not just you, mine didn't do anything either when I tried to plug in a USB. I had read other reviews that said as much before I purchased, so I wasn't really expecting that part to work. The lights are pretty cool, though, and that's all I needed it for.

I have mine loaded on my computer and play it that way. I do not know whether you can play it any other way.

this is just an extension no electronics involved ,if you can play music plugging your flash drive directly into isimple interface then .yes it will play.

No. You can charge your device using the USB but to play you would need a 3.5 male to male cable.

Depends on the model guess. The first one I bought, when it died, I could plug it into the wall charger via USB and still have it in my phone with the aux an it would just play. One of my friends loved mine and bought one a few months after I did to daisy chain, but hers will not charge while playing NOR play through the outlet, she has to charge first before she can play anything. I don't know if it's all new models or just roulette =(

After reading your question, I just tried it, and YES, it plays my music just fine while plugged in.Norm
