Can I convert them for use with my Computer?

These speakers take copper speaker wire; so in order to use them with a PC, you would need an amplifier that can take 1/8 inch stereo input, such as the Lepai Tripath TA2020. From the PC to the amplifier, you would need a male-to-male 1/8inch stereo cable, and from the amplifier to the speakers, you would need standard copper speaker wire.

You can use them with your computer but you need a small amp as the Dayton speakers are not powered. Amazon has several amps that would work well.

These speakers are meant for use with a stereo receiver, so unless you have a receiver connected to your PC, probably not.

You will need a power source. Dayton and Lepai both make inexpensive amps that would go the job.

Absolutely! I currently use these speakers with a LP-2020A+ Lepai Tripath Class-T Hi-Fi Audio Mini Amplifier with Power Supply found on Amazon for around $20. They sound great too!

Yes, I use mine with my computer. You just need to buy an amplifer and RCA-to-3.5mm (headphone jack) cable. Lepai makes a few amps that will work and cost around $25.

You would need to provide speaker inputs. You can run the audio out of your computer into a inexpesive amp, and them from the amp to the speakers. It works quite well.

I should note that you need to format them for windows. The process is explained either in the instructions or on the G-tech Web site.

I don't see why they wouldn't be. I have used them with a variety of different computers.

It wouldn't be ideal but if the computer had the old a/v jacks (RCA jacks, I believe), it would work. I don't know why you'd want to though.

Plug them directly into your laptop or phone. If you want them to go into a stero, you may need an adapter (from say Radio Shack) if it does not have an input for it.

You can, but the quality isn't very good, at least not compared to my laptop.

Added thought... I want to use Audacity software to help with the conversion. Again, any thoughts? Thanks!

I don't see why not. When you connect them to the PC, the computer should automatically search for drivers and software for this printer/fax/copy machine. This is a Windows 7 machine, remember. That's the main reason I bought it, since Windows 8 had been out about a year, and I was unable to find a Win 7 machine in any of the stores (I did not want Windows 8). I believe you will be very happy with this computer! I know I am.

I would think you can as long as you use the proper converter. That might be better answered from the tech support team.

Yes they can. Depending on the computer I am using I use the built in card reader or a usb card reader. Either will work equally well.

Sorry. I have not done that. I would assume you would connect them to the laptop.

You can go to www.convertunits.com to convert. I am not sure these are the same type of unit which can be converted, but this is a great site to look up.

You need to power them with a receiver. You would run your computer into that.

No unfortunately but you can find converters for less then 2.50 on Amazon I believe

It won't be an ideal fit, but you should be able to install the drive without the converter. If the computer shows the drive, it's a problem with the converter, if not you may need to reformat the drive.

I'm sorry I cannot help. I bought these for my brother who lives 450 miles from me and does not own a computer.

You are supposed to be able to do so, but the conversion process is faulty. They need to do much more work on this tablet to bring it up to the level of their promises. I waited too late to send my back so I'm stuck with it, but I don't bother to use it because it does not work properly. I even bought the software to convert and it was a waste of money.
