Is there any way to connect the TS cables to my monitor speakers and the USB to my laptop so I can listen to SoundCloud? I just got my product today..

The A/D cable does not work in both directions - the signal flow must be *from* the audio end *to* the USB end. That means you can not play out through your USB jack using this cable. You will need a D/A box to play out from your USB port to your speakers, and probably an amp as well (unless your speakers are powered). You can find these little guys branded as external USB sound cards, typically for under $50. Some of the nicer ones have gain and processing controls, but most will have an 1/8" TRS jack rather than RCA or full size phono jacks. When you go looking for a solution, remember to consider all the connections you'll have to make as well as power considerations.

Yes you can. Just install this device and connect it to your speakers. To connect to them, go to 'devices and printers' and then 'add a device' (This is for Windows) and select the device you want to connect to. Then start playing some music! You may have to change your sound settings if your computer already has other speakers it uses.

This is on thing I've been having trouble with myself. I have the receiver connected to my home theater system and wanted to play audio from my laptop. I can connect to the receiver with my laptop's Bluetooth, but I haven't been able to get Windows to play sound through It as it doesn't show in audio devices. . I'm using Windows 7 and haven't been able to find any software in the hour I spent searching about it.

In my use case, my monitor is hooked up to my computer using a USB cable. I can then plug the Bluetooth dongle into my monitor, install the correct files on my computer and the dongle performs as if it were plugged into the laptop directly. The key here is that the monitor is essentially working as a usb hub. If the only cables going to your monitor are a video and audio cable (can be in the form of hdmi/vga and stereo cable/etc.) then the dongle will not work as it needs to have files be installed on your computer in order to transmit the source (audio in this case) via bluetooth.In short, it gets the audio from the computer, not the monitor.

I don't quite understand what you are asking. This is a "USB soundcard," it connects to the host computer via USB (and is powered by the USB as well).If your laptop has a USB port, then it will connect to your laptop. If your laptop doesn't have a USB port, then you'll need to get a new laptop or get a USB card for your laptop.If you are asking if it includes the USB /CABLE/, yes, it does.

If you want ot use as a computer speaker, as Brian said, Get a 1/8" male to male audio cable and hook one end to the laptop/PC's headphone or audio jack to the AUX of the speaker. Problem solved. Using USB may work, but I'd think of other options first, as the USB port on this device sends voltage out, as well as the USB port on your computer would, thats like pluging an outlet into an outlet....could have disastrous results..... Come "next door" if you have any other questions.

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.

Hi, as far as I can see, you can't hook it up as a component to another system. On the back I can only see hook ups for external speakers. I don't see any other output/input ports. Hope that answers your question.

I think your hookup is bass ackwards. The audio should run via ARC or Audio Return Channel from your monitor to the Somy headphone. I believe this is done via Toslink.

Yes you can. I use it with my desktop because the monitor I have did not have speakers. You have to use an available USB port and make sure that USB sound device drivers are installed. This speaker can be loud. It was well worth it.

The speaker plugs into a usb port.I do not know what kind of monitor you are using, but this speaker has a long cord.Should be fine.

Can confirm that it works, using it this way right now. I hadn't been using the monitor jack just assuming that it'd mean I couldn't hear system audio without going through external speakers and I didn't want that. I actually came looking for windscreen options (besides the old sock missing it's other half I've got now) and came across this question/answer so I opened up the playback device properties and set the USB microphone speakers as default. Works like a charm.

I connect the device to my notebook whit a hdmi cable, but the sound is reproduced by the X-12 speaker, the sounds is good but is very low, and the sound can not be amplified or at least I not discovered how to do it.

Yes that is how I use my laptop on my monitor that has DVI. Although you will need something else for sound, but if your device w/ the DVI port has a aux. in port (headphone jack) then just use that for sound or hook up an external device for sound.
