If I hook up these speakers via USB, can volume still be controlled by the computer or it needs to be controlled with the knob on the back of the speaker?

Yes. Set the speaker volume then use your computer output volume. They even power down when you shut the computer off.

yes- i leave knob on back of speaker alone, and use just volume control on my iMac

It can be controlled both by the volume on the back of the speakers as well as the computer usb input into the speakers.

There is no separate volume control on this speaker. It relies on the volume controlon the device you plug it into. (IE phone, laptop, computer, etc)

If your computor has tone control yes but the speakers only have volume control

Yes, it has a volume control knob on the right end. It is not visible in the picture. It is a good sized knob and works quite well; I generally leave the computers volume at MAX and control it via this know.

There is no volume control located on these. So you'll control it from your main unit (i.e. computer - computer volume control within the program, portable CD player - on the CD player, etc.). Careful of the ear hook as it tends to come off a lot. If you snap it back into place too roughly you can break the ear bud.

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.

Mine works that way, didn't see anything that said you couldn't. I would use the on and off switch on the side of the speaker when not in use. Mine stays plugged into the USB from the computer all the time.

No they do not have volume control. But the sound can be controlled by the device in which they are connected.

Best of my knowledge it is the volume from your computer or laptop. That is where the volume control is. Not on the USB plug in speaker. Hope this helps.

The plugged in speakers override the laptop speakers. As soon as you unplug them the laptop speakers will be in play. I had to adjust volume on the speakers via the laptop though. If there were a volume control on the speakers it would be so much easier.

The system does have volume control, but you can not control individual speakers. So yes, you can adjust the volume

plug them into the speakers and the green sound out at the back of the computer. the volume control is on a speaker.

There is no volume control on the speakers themselves. You must change the volume from your computer's volume panel.

You will need powered external speakers if you plan not to use a receiver. In other words, speakers which have their own volume control.

There are no individual volume controls for each output...they are just "in" or "out" buttons....

What do you refer to as volume control? I have not heard this mentioned before. There are the common control keys, and many programs have ways to modify them.

The little knob on the left speakers is to control the volume on the speakers
