Can this speaker be hooked up to a Macbook Pro? Does anyone know if this speaker can be hooked up to a Macbook Pro?

I have had the TRX for over a year and I have never been able to successfully connect it with my macbook pro over bluetooth. With a cord, yes. With bluetooth - a sad no.

It should. I don't have a MacBook. I've connected the adapter to the headphone jack on my iPad and then connected a 1/8 M/M stereo from adapter to my pc and it works perfectly. I played music from the iPad and the sound came out my pc speakers. hope this helps.

It's not a MacBook Pro so if you want good sound, get a good set of external speakers. It has bluetooth so you can use those kind if you want. I have a Beats Pill that i use with mine.

"Doesn't work" is not very descriptive. I have three of these all on Dell monitors. So first, what do you mean "on my macbook pro"? That is a laptop and the soundbar is designed to mount on the bottom of a standalone (Dell) monitor. I don't see any reasonable way to use this with a macbook other than mounted to a Dell monitor that is being used as an external display (with the appropriate Apple Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter, or as appropriate for your macbook.) Then plug the video input cable from the soundbar to the headphone jack on your macbook.

Yes, I was able to use it on a Mac. I did have to go into USB and have it recognize it since it plugs in via USB not speaker like usual. The USB is supposed to give you more clarity. I have not used it enough to confirm that though. Good luck!

You might want to try going into System Preferences then click on "Sound" and change the output. I have a MacBook Pro laptop and I can only get the sound out of my computer because it was built before 2010 or 2011. I can't remember the exact year. Sometimes the sound wasn't loud enough so I had to buy a little speaker that plugs into the USB port. UGH!! I hope this helps. Ramona C.

Yes. MacBook Pro supports Bluetooth 4.0 so it would without any issues. I connected mine to my HP Folio without any issues, and Samsung Galaxy s2.

As far as I know, MacBook Pro supports audio pairing with Bluetooth devices, so the answer is yes.

Yes, I've been using it with my MacBook Pro. However, I did not use the software (disk) that came with it. (Small disc. Not compatible with Mac.) I use a program called Audacity, that I downloaded from the internet.

No, they connect via a headphone jack and yes they can be used with your MacBook Pro.

I couldn't get mine to work with my MacBook Pro either. I just gave up. Too late and too much hassle to send it back. Tom in Florida

Yes, I have connected it via bluetooth to a MacBook Pro and a Chromebook. Very easy to do.

Yes, if your Mac book pro has blue tooth connectivity it should be able to. But wouldn't recommend using this speaker. It is very small and not clear sound

I am having the same problem with my macbook pro! Whether I plug in these speakers or not (use the ones already on my laptop) there is no difference in sound at all! I came on here for the same reason, to find out if anyone knows what to do about this.

I don't have a Mac Book but I only use it for my phones. I have dedicated speaker's for my pc. But I can't see why it wouldn't connect. That's what it does.

YES! I have attached it to an iMac and to a macbook pro using the Audacity software. It works great with both.

One reviewer said that it doesn't "sync" with a computer. A shame as I am looking for a good, portable speaker system for both my iphone and macbook. Anyone know of any?
