How does it work if you simply wish to amplify the volumn of your maximum laptop output?

the volume on your laptop/tablet/device can only go so loud. This takes it even louder than your device.

That's what I use it for. Works great. You can also leave it connected to the USB port to keep it charged while listening. That way you don't have to worry about the battery running down.

You charge up this amplifier with the included cable, then you plug your headphones into the amplifier, & plug the amplifier into your laptop, turn on the amplifier, & use its volume buttons to adjust the sound. It greatly increases the source's maximum volume through headphones.

I have only used it to load things on my laptop so far. I really can't answer your question for now

"Blow up" LOL. As long as your computer has a "center channel out" or are you attempting to make surround out of a computer that has no surround output?

Great question, I can't get that specific. I pulled a heard drive out of an old laptop and it has worked fine. Don't want to get that specific though. Good luck.

The audio output of a computer system is generally a low power speaker output. It would have to be amplified to drive a large speaker system. Sometimes you can end up with distortion when you amplify a speaker output.

Why not? It's always recommended to purchase more power then your computer needs. That is what I have read anyway.

Yes, but... When you use a passive splitter like this, there is a drop in volume. If you daisy chain multiple splitters together, each successive splitter will drop the volume further. So the people on the first splitter (where the laptop is plugged in) will hear louder audio than the people on the 2nd splitter. If you do try to do this, connect the 2nd and 3rd splitter both to the 1st splitter (instead of daisy chaining the 1st to the 2nd, and the 2nd to the 3rd). At least that way everyone on the 2nd and 3rd splitters (10 of the people) will all hear the same volume. If the source you're listening to is sufficiently loud, then you should be able to compensate for the loss. I can't say I've ever tried to split a signal out that far though.

First you have to connect this to a laptop, because it is powered by a USB2.0/3.0. There is a application that goes with it, you can configure input/ouput channels from that application installed on the laptop. And you can set the output level from the knob on it (zoom in on the picture, it is on the upper right corner of the panel). Hope this helps.

I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work just fine. You can plug your laptop into one of the line level inputs. The preamps on the mic inputs are more than quiet enough, it provides switchable 48v phantom power if you're running cardoid mics, so the mic sound quality will depend entirely on the quality of your mics.

run it through a splitter, OR get an external mixer with multiple outs. thx!

I'd have to disagree with this. No laptop out I've ever tried is able to convert digital to analog signal cleaner than a dedicated DAC like the E7 can. The DAC in a laptop only costs a few cents and is subject to noise in the laptop enclosure.

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.

I suppose that it supplies power to the drive. My guess is that the laptop drive I'm using only needs 5V and that it is getting enough current from the USB port. I do not know how much power is really needed or if this usage is correct; I just observed that it works for me.

Hi. All I know is that it cant run more than 4 amps reliably and the devices fan is louder than it should be.

Hi, This set up provides microphone level output that needs to go to an amplifier which then drives the speakers. The signal out of this is low level so must be amplified.

I use this strictly as headphone amp from Mac to headphones, not exactly sure what impact it would have on a TV signal to or from your laptop. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I don't think that would be a good idea.. It's always best go by manufacture recommended wiring and amplification. Exceeding the power input beyond its capacity on any electronics could cause things to quite literally fry.
