I think I'm a little late to the party asking this question. But you can in fact use these with PC. Simply by using the PS3 adapter, works like a charm!

Yes you can use a RCA to 3.5mm jack if you want to use audio from your Mobo or your soundcard. However, something no one has mentioned yet is you can do it just with USB as well, with the included PS3 adapter. When reading the manual, just pretend the PS3 is your PC. Simply plug that cable to the receiver box and to a usb slot in your PC, windows 7 will automatically download drivers, and you are set. I recommend this set, its nice.

Best way to determine if this is compatibility issue is to plug the headphone jacks into another computer. or device. Also, make sure you're plugging the jacks into the correct location.

Hello, before you buy this card i just want you to know that i have this sound card last 2011, but i did not actually use it, it got an issue on drivers, i install the driver that comes with it and it didn't recognize on window xp 32bits and win 7 64bits. I email the company and they sent me a link for the driver, i downloaded the driver and it works but it is a little bit freaky, i mean that some times i got sound and then when i exit from a certain game i don't have sound on my main computer. I open my media player , no sound . I have to reboot the computer in order to have the sound back to the main computer. It seems that it change the settings for no reason...or the driver is not recognize. I didn't bother to return the card because it was cheap $39 bucks and i just want to experiment the card for other use for now. If your not planning to have a 5.1 or 7.1 sounds i recomend just buy the regular Creative sound blaster stereo.( the one with speaker out, mic in and line-in green,red and blue.) I hope this helps.

This sound card is an Express Card slot and not a PCMCIA slot. They are totally different slots. It will not work.

I have not been able to connect up my case's audio ports. I suppose there must be a way to do it, but I am not savvy enough to do it. I do find this to be a problem. The rear input ports can be extended with short cables to the front, but not the headphone jack. The card's headphone jack mutes the speakers when a plug is inserted into it, just as one would expect. It is a minor but very annoying problem.

I tried them with my PC and I got them to work, but only in mono mode, not stereo. I dont know why. I only tried briefly because I wasnt planning on using them with my PC anyway...and I tried right after I got them and wasnt familiar with what I was doing. I havent had time to try them again.

thanks a lot sga, i have a samsung too along with some old logitechs that are plugged in now with the headphone jack. i was looking to upgrade to these though because the sound quality just isn't doing it anymore.that was my main concern too; whether or not the headphone jack works so again thank you.

NO, is is NOT really compatible with a PC mic jack. This mic is designed to plug into a STEREO mic jack. Your PC's mic jack is mono. The PC mic jacks, and PC mics, have three contacts like this one does - which make many people believe they are compatible - but on the PC the contacts are mic, +5 power to the mic (this is why PC mics don't need an onboard battery, they get power from the jack), and ground. Not left, right, and ground as on this mic. It might "work" but it will not give you stereo sound and you will get sound from the mic's left side only.

I am going to say It will be fine. I use the onboard realtek chipset for my motherboard and they sound fine What do other headphones sound like? With out knowing exactly the type of chipset you have It is tough to say. With that being said I do not know a whole lot about chipsets. These are not top of the line headphones and THe way i see it perfect for Mine, and your type of use. Email me with any more questions

As long as it cuts off speakers when you plug in headphones, should work just fine in any set of front ports on a pc. There's only once when I've had a system not auto-cut the speakers and that was a software issue on a much older system. I've used these quite a bit and they're great for being able to use headsets you'd normally use with a cell or other single-plug sets.

The BoomPro comes with a splitter that converts the single 3.5mm microphone/headphone jack into separate 3.5mm jacks one for headphones and the other for the microphone which was designed to be used with PCs with separate headphone and microphone jacks. I'm almost sure that it will work if you plug them in their respective jacks. (I doubt the color of the jack will have any effect on compatibility at all).

I haven't tried...but if your PC has the correct audible out jack it should, no problem.

For some reason the analog cables don't work for me with this headset. Probably an issue with my sound card I don't know honestly. But you can have it connected to pc and your phone via bluetooth and nfc. There's a trick to it. Connect it via nfc to ur phone then bluetooth via ur pc. Also USB pc and phone bluetooth work as well

I believe it should be fine. The hookup is a direct audio hookup there is no USB so the sound is going to be directly fed into your sound cards audio input. You will need a 6.35mm(male) to 3.5mm(male) audio cable how this helps.

Caveat.... I had some gamescom commanders that were too uncomfortable. Those had a USB 7.1 connector. I plugged my HyperX audio jack in that and it works via the USB port. After market USB connecters will work with it. This is when using it with a PC.

I haven't tried them with my computer. They plug into an "audio out" connector, same size as the headset plug on your computer. In theory, this should work.

I 100% always recommend a sound card. Some people do some people don't, it's becoming more popular to say the sound chip on mainboards are so good an add on sound card isn't necessary; I say sound cards are essential. To use this headset look for a sound card that has 5.1 surround 3.5 mm ports, it doesn't have stereo 3.5 mm jacks, or coax, or optical it's only compatible with 5.1 3.5 mm ports. Almost all late mainboards have that built into the mainboard to start.SignedCaleb Anderson
