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.

M. Furukawa: You're the only person I've read on this subject (and I've read hundreds of pages on Head-fi and elsewhere) who contemplated a "separate mic dongle" with the Westone ES cable. If you went that route, how did it work for you? People talk about having to "sand them down" to make them fit.

My experience is the same as Jacky's. I don't use mine with a laptop so can't comment on that. My headphones work fine without anything related to the speakers as I plug them into a USB port on my CPU.

Some early implementations of DisplayPort on laptops did not support audio (generally pre-2010 systems.) Assuming it is not just a setting problem about which audio adapter is used, then you are probably out of luck.

The adapter doesn't work with any headset I've tried using it with. turtle beach, tritton, or logitech.

This happened to me as well. After doing some research, and not wanting to fiddle with all kinds of software solutions or return the unit, I bought a USB sound card. Amazon sells the Turtle Beach Audio Advantage micro for $29.99. I just downloaded the driver from their website and "bam" all my headphone problems are solved. Not only that, it also boosts the sound volume and quality remarkably. The other great thing is that your headsets will stay put. i found the Asus headphone jack to be incredibly loose. Hope this helps

I cannot seem to get the adapter to work at all. There are no directions included with the product. Am I doing something wrong? I have just been plugging it in to my computer, MP3 player, etc, turning it on, turning on my headset, and hoping for the best. Nothing. I have tried all that in different orders too. Any suggestions? Anne

Yes ma'am you can! I have used it many times before! Just make sure you go into your laptops "System Preferences" >then>"Sound">then> change your Output to headphones (*redundant* or it should automatically when you plug them in) but the important part is the "Input" section (located at the top with "sound effects and Output") make sure the input is set to the "turtle beach mic."I hope this helps, and I hope you message me back with your Mac gamer tag so that we may meet up online! I have ZERO friends to play with on Macs!!

Hi Deborah, I have been successful with my hookup and audio. At this point I would make sure your laptop supports a direct HDMI connection and that you have changed your audio output in the control panel under whatever O.S. you have. Hope this helps. Also, in some situations, the audio is going to default to the laptop if the connection is a HDMI Input. You want a HDMI Output on the laptop.

We bought two headsets - each comes with its own optical connector wire. We then bought an optical splitter box (wasn't too costly) and one extra optical cord (tiny wire). We hooked the one optical cord to the TV "optical out" and the splitter box "in." We then hooked each headphone's optical cord connector into the two "outs" on the splitter box. Both headphones sound FABULOUS! Hope this helps. As far as I know, you cannot piggyback another set of headphones, as each "tower" (which is also the recharging unit for the headphones) connects to its own individual signal.

Hi Kim, make sure that the digital input is in the in, not out, of you digital box, what came with the headset. The other end should be connected to his game station. If it is an XBox, you would need to adaptor which plugs into the controller. Insert the DC power cable USB in the game station. On you game station, you would have to go to your "sound settings" and Audio Output Settings and select Optical Digital. Select Dolby Digital 5.1 Ch., Linear PCM 2 Ch. 44.1 kHz, and Linar PCM 2 Ch. 48 kHz. If you want sound to come from your tv and headset, go to audio muti-output and select on. I hope I got to help you today. Hi Kim, make sure that the digital input is in the in, not out, of you digital box, what came with the headset. The other end should be connected to his game station.

It has RCA audio outputs (right and left) and large size mic input. The outputs are designed for speakers (thus the RCA format), but we have an adapter that will take you from RCA to a normal headphone jack (originally came with a set of headphones designed to plug inline to the XBox 360 standard outputs) They are Turtle Beach XLC, you can see what the adapter looks like here: (third little picture from the left)Ear Force XLC Stereo Headset with Mic - Xbox 360You should be able to get a similar adapter at Radio Shack or any online electronics source.

Good question. I just tried it out by reversing the 3x 1/8" from my desktop to the adapter and that to the headphones (although you can use speakers, i just had my ps3 headphones on hand and used the RCA passthough and connected that to the RCA end on the adapter). And it did not work. Absolutely no sound came out, I guess its only one direction that it functions. Hope that helped.

I'm not sure as to the "why," but there is a kind of hollow sound when listening to music or speeches when playing through a laptop's sound card. Sounds okay when playing CS:GO and BF4 though... Some headphones just are power hungry I guess. For the price tag, I was hoping to get at least comparable sound to my AT-A900x headphones, but no go.

It works great and No adapter needed! Plug in the fiber optic audio cable to the unit, turn on headset with power button, double click the power button on headset until you hear "X-Box Mode" (two modes: PS and Xbox), after that your connected. Enjoy!

Hello, i must apologize for nobody helping you with this. From what i can tell, your Logitechs connect to an audio source through a 3.5MM headphone plug. I was looking at the info on this turntable and i saw that it comes with a dual female rca to female 3.5MM adapter. All you do is plug the cable from your speakers into that of the matching jack on the adapter. If you DO NOT have this adapter then you may want to order this:Cables To Go 03182 - 3.5mm Stereo Female to RCA Male Y-Cable (Discontinued by Manufacturer)Hope this helps, and enjoy your turntable.
