Hi, can I connect it to Windows 7 desktop and then to powered speaker?

Absolutely. All you should need is a cable with a 3.5mm stereo plug at one end and whatever your speakers take at the other, most likely RCA plugs. Plug it into the jack on the microStreamer that doesn't have a picture of headphones next to it. Leave the volume on your computer turned up all the way, and use the volume control on your speakers.

Absolutely, that should work no problem. I typically connect it to a windows 7 pc and headphones, but there's a line out jack that would work for connecting to a powered speaker setup.

yes. Do you know what a soundcard does? This is an external soundcard that connects via USB. Your question makes me wonder if you know enough about what you're thinking about buying. good luck.

Yes, it should work with Windows with no problems. I use them with powered speakers via the line out and they work fine.

Yes. It's a USB device that has two receptacles. One is for headphones and one is for external speakers. This would be most helpful if you have a sub-par sound card in the desktop, like one built-in to the motherboard. If you have a decent add-on sound card, you don't really need an external DAC. On my ThinkPad laptop I use it paired with Klipsch THX powered speakers. It would be no different connecting it to a desktop + powered speakers.

Sorry, I am not. This went into a Windows 7 desktop, luckily it was plug-n-play - good luck

I don't know if can because aren't computer speakers powered? These are not powered so the output will be quite low.

You Can't use this speaker as Passive only Powered, However there some passive models from qsc

Yes You Need Powered Speakers. You Connect Using RCA Cables. Use Either An Amplifier Or Powered Speakers And You Are Good To go.

Sorry, my computer is a windows platform. Also, my Soundbridge gave out 3 or 4 years ago. After that we got 2 Logitech Internet radios (1 Squeezebox & 1 SmartRadio) and we love them!

If you are running windows Windows 7 or 8 it should work without a hitch. You would pair the speakers through the windows bluetooth setup. The drivers are standard and built into windows

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.

Yes, you can. It only has one RCA input. I don't know how many RCA outputs your computer has but you will need regular speakers to go with it.

Likely yes. You would just need to be sure to configure GoToMeeting to use the correct speaker output device.

You don't connect it directly to your speakers per say. I have mine plugged into my computer via USB. Any audio interface (M-Audio Mobile Pre for example) will recognize it.

Yes, I had to connect mine to the speakers I had from my previous computer.

Yes, just connect via Bluetooth. Once connected to your controlling device (OS independent) You just run any application that plays audio.

Plug it into one of your USB ports, then plug the headphones/mic/speakers or whatever your using it for in and you done. Windows has native support so the Operating system should pick it up right away. I bought mine for a set of Klipsch speakers, has been working well for about 4 months.

I know nothing about computer speakers, but you can connect to any device that accepts a stereo Y-cable (One end is like a headphone plug and the other end is left and right RCA audio plugs). I use one of these cables to connect to my surround sound amplifier to get virtual surround. Much better results than the onboard sound.

You would need to run a cable from the laptop headphone jack to the speaker dock. The cable is included.
