Can this speaker system be used on a desktop computer (i.e., Acer brand)? My Acer computer has two ports for the speakers to plug into.

These speakers come with an aux input and cable so you can plug it into anything that has a headphone jack . It also has left and right input so I am possative they will be compatable with your desktop.
925977
Yes they sure can. All they need is an aux port, which I can assure you your laptop has.
925978
Yes..My Genius system is plugged into my desktop PC's speaker jack and it works great,sounds wonderful!
925979
Yes, there is a regular audio input jack that will plug into any device. I could plug it into my phone, laptop, etc.

yeah, it works on pretty much any computers. It uses the output slot where headphones or other out speaker hooks into.

These speakers need an amplifier. These aren't really made to be computer speakers per se. They can work for that but you would need to get an audio amp which would connect to the audio output of your computer and then these speakers would hook up to the amplifier.

You can pretty much connect these speakers into anything as long as you connect it to a headphone jack. Works well with laptops, television, and desk top computers. I'm very happy with these speakers, they work very well!

Yes. Each speaker has its own amplifier and power. You'll just need to buy two cables and a y adapter for plugging into your pc sound card.

yes, if your computer has a sound card (which means it has a headphone/speaker jack). If your computer was made in the last 10 years it is very likely going to have a way to connect external speakers. only very early computers didn't automatically allow for a speaker jack.

Yes, but the computer won't drive the speakers directly. You'll need to connect the computer to an amplifier, and the speakers to the amp. I did something like this on my machine, using a Topping TP21 amp I purchased here on Amazon. Just search for "Topping" under the "Electronics" heading here to see some good choices.

you can use computer speakers. But you need a power source for the speakers and will have to turn them on and off as with a computer.

If the PC speakers have RCA type jacks on them then this cable should work, but most PC speakers already have a cable that will plug directly into your computer. This cable would normally be used to connect the line output of your computer to a stereo amplifier or the output of an audio device such as a mixer or receiver to the line input of your computer.

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.

I suppose you could in theory, but since these speakers have no internal power supply you'd need some form of amplification between the speakers and the pc. Not really the use they're intended for.

My speakers came with a Dell desktop PC & require connection to an AC 120V electrical source to work. They connect to audio out on the PC via a miniature jack.

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

I mostly use this card for headphones, however I would guess no to your question. Maybe if you plug the front panel audio into this card and plug your other speakers in up there would you maybe be able to do that. maybe ask on like head-fi.org as they will probably know much more than me. I also, do not own this sound card anymore, as my new motherboard did not have a pci connector :/ Some people might not agree, but after purchasing my new xonar essence stx, I would say this card is hardly any different sounding.

it doesn't mater what OS you have! as long the computer has a 3.5 audio jack output it will work. I cut the mounting bracket and I used sticky tape under the monitors. I three of them and they sound great too. the on/off switch/volume is on the right side of the speaker.

In short, I would say no. If you feel like removing all USB functionality - then technically yes. (cut the speaker lines and place into the amp outs). I suspect the low output over your current system is a combo of low power from the USB powered amp (it's technically only capable of 2.5w output) - and cheap speakers. So If I'm going to be truthfully honest - by another powered speaker PC set. For utilizing this amp you'd want to purchase new speakers as well.

I use mine connected to a desktop computer sound card. These are powered speakers any they will work on anything that has a line output If I remember correctly the speakers were about 20 watts which may cover a small back yard.

As far as drivers just google audio drivers for whatever computer you have. Your computer shoud have a 3.5mm jack in the back, same as where your regular speakers would plug into.
