My Toshiba laptop isn't connected with Bluetooth is there a connector I could use so I wouldn't have to plug it in through the audio outlet?

Hi Paul, I didn't quite understand the 2nd part of your question where you're asking of *not having to plug it in through the audio outlet*. Anyway, this Bluetooth orb speaker does have a 3.5mm jack in the back that one can connect it to a laptop's 3.5mm headphone jack, which is what I sometimes do since I understand using the Bluetooth functionality drains more battery. Hope this helps!

I'm not sure how you'd want to connect, but the GoGroove comes with a connector that goes through the headphones jack and works fine on my Toshiba laptop. The only problem is the cord is very short, and cordless with Bluetooth is obviously less hassle.

Make sure you have the latest Bluetooth drivers installed on your computer and that Bluetooth is enabled on laptop

It is through Bluetooth but not via the connector. I'm not sure about an adapter.

Toshiba bundles their laptops with a program called "DTS Sound". Find this program, and turn it off. It works much better after this.

If your computer has blue tooth you can connect to it just like a phone or tablet, however most computers "do not have" blue tooth. I have a usb bluetooth adapter that I use. I would be hesitant to recommend a particular device since I really don't know which are good. If you search for "usb" "bluetooth" "adapter" "dongle" you will find several for under 20 dollars.

If your laptop has bluetooth capability, then u can. If not, buy a bluetooth USB dongle, install it, then install the headset and pair it. Just follow the instructions.

Use this driver: http://www.wiinupro.com/ (If you have a bluetooth with the Toshiba Bluetooth Driver stack, like this one: http://www.amazon.com/Bluetooth-V2-1-EDR-Nano-Adapter/dp/B0029L4BE4), or this adapter: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00E6553PW.

I double checked the specs, it does NOT come with bluetooth, there are no bluetooth antennas in it.http://us.toshiba.com/computers/laptops/satellite/U940/U945-S4130/

the question to ask is: does your laptop have industry standard Bluetooth capability pre-installed? if yes, turn on Bluetooth mode in the computer's settings, then turn on the speaker, and it should find and connect to your computer all by itself. The first time, your computer will ask you If you wish to connect to that external device. If your computer is not Bluetooth capable, the speaker cannot be used in Bluetooth mode, but can be used with the enclosed cable, which you plug directly into the computer headphone jack.

Dear Lynne,I have the Toshiba Bluetooth dongle on my Toshiba Satellite C675-S7200. According to the software that came with it the unit will work with any hardware device. I have not used it with wireless speakers but, it pairs, connects and operates well with my Android phone, Mac desktop and bluetooth headset. I tried other third party brands and had no successes. I finally found a Toshiba Bluetooth dongle and it has worked flawlessly. Tim

Bluetooth only. If your computer doesn't have Bluetooth, then you will need to buy a USB-to Bluetooth adapter.

You'll need a Bluetooth dongle if your PC or laptop &#128187; has no build in Bluetooth. The rest is plug and play!

Is this a waste of money to pay for bluetooth capabilities if I'm only going to use it to plug into a laptop pc for better sound? Is there a better choice for just that usage?

If your laptop is Bluetooth enabled, they should link. Just turn both the Bluetooth on your laptop and the speaker on and push connect when the devise comes up. If your laptop is not Bluetooth enabled, you can still plug the speaker into the mini jack output port on your laptop. The cord it comes with is pretty short so you may want an extension if you use it this way.

This is a wireless Bluetooth device, which means a Bluetooth capable device is needed in order to send signals to it. I believe there are Bluetooth adapters which you could use to upgrade your laptop, in order to use it with other Bluetooth devices. You CAN charge the speaker by plugging it into your laptop's USB port, but this is not how the speaker receives the data/sound that it plays wirelessly through the speaker.

I sure do. It is not detectable by any of my bluetooth devices. Called Toshiba and they will not support this device and told me to return the device all together and they would credit me so I could buy another. Not the best customer service I have ever encountered. I really do like the soundbar and decided just to deal with it but what a freakin bummer. I use the Aux cord instead.
