I ordered this to use as a speaker for my computer. Anyone else done this? Do I need other cables or a DC cord?

You should be able to connect the Stereo-Out (headphone) from the computer/laptop to the Aux-In. Not sure of your entire setup, but personally I think this unit will be an overkill as computer speakers.

Yes, the speakers come with an auxiliary cable included.the only observation is that, when plugged in with the cable, the volume buttons you'll use will have to be the ones on the computer. So i'd suggest keeping the the speaker on max all the time and adjusting it on the computer later on, for better use of the power. And this baby packs A LOT of it :)!

I use a VGA cable to run my laptop off of my TV. However instead of hooking up an audio cable to the television I just plug in a small set of speakers to the laptop to increase the volume coming off of the laptop. It's really same thing, just that sound comes off of the computer instead. Just a suggestion and another option.

No, the speakers are USB powered, so you just plug them into the USB port on your computer and you have power. They also plug into your headphone jack for the sound. So USB for power, headphone jack for sound. :-)

Yes you will need a audio cable also it is a VGA cable and will not support sound. If your computer has a HDMI port you could get a HDMI cable and it would have picture and sound in one cable.

I used audio cable with RCA connectors.There are other ways too. Refer to manual. Goodluck.

You need to use speaker cables....NOT guitar or instrument cables. Use speaker cables only, you'll have a better sound.

The cord is quite small, unless you plan on not moving a lot with the speaker it should be fine. If you need a longer cord I recommend you get a Mediabridge 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable.

The wire that is enclosed is used first of all to charge the unit. This is done by inserting the small end into the unit and the USB plug into a matching inlet on your computer. The small jack can be inserted into a corresponding inlet on a devise, to provide sound to external speakers. You must purchase a 4GB micro card that is inserted into the UAB2.0

Sound comes from the computer, not the monitor. Plug your speakers into your computer.

1 USB cable coming from 1 speaker and the speakers are already connected to each. I've been using them for a couple of weeks and find the sound quality fine but I'm only using them because the built in laptop speakers are so poor.

Hi, did this work? I have a set of surround computer speakers, with a headphone jack style output. Looking for a cable to plug them into my TV?

Thanks, I have bought 100ft mediabridge 16 gauge speaker wires. And was reading comments that for better sound quality and no loss, better to use end connectors as exposed wires can result in short circuit. I dont entirely agree with that, but wanted to confirm with people who have already installed speaker systems.

I would guess that they shipped the wrong cable. I received a cable that connects with both speakers. You should return or notify the seller that they included the wrong cable.

My speakers came with a Dell desktop PC & require connection to an AC 120V electrical source to work. They connect to audio out on the PC via a miniature jack.

No, it is a mic cable. You should order a specific "Speaker' cable to run speakers.

Hello we have this speaker and we used it for our renewal ceremony. We used a "Y" Cable that ran from our laptop to the speaker and it worked very well. You can find it in any radio shack or electronic store or even walmart. I hope this helps.
