Someone sent me the headphones to use in my computer room as the sound is off. There are 7 Dell desktops here. I plugged in both wires but no sound.

Make sure that you don't have the black plug in the mic jack, they are reversible. Try the other way and see if that works. If that doesn't you need to go to control panel and check the setting there. There should be an icon on the bottom right of the task bar that will bring those settings up.

Unplug the red wire and see if it works. Overall, these are junk headphones and I'd try to get my money back if I were you.

The answer I just sent assumed you had external speakers. If they are internal and against the backing the sound will be baffled unless you add external speakers.

Rock out!!!! Best solution would be to connect the computer into the mixer feeding the monitors then it is no different from any other source. If you are connecting directly to the computer headphone jack just be careful not to send too hot of a signal - if you hear any distortion at all then turn down the volume on the computer - and you will be fine.

Hi. It´s probably defective,, but I always use the headphone or aux "out" to an extarnal speakers, the sound from the built in speakers is not good, so before you return it, maybe try that, I got myself 2,1 speakers from Logitech and they are amazing and they only cost like 100 $...

I looped my audio through a stereo using audio in and out in addition to headphones an its still worked i would assume so if your computer has internal speaker (mine doesnt) just make sure you have everything configure properly.

Maggie, Just like someone else already said, check both connections. Make sure the source of the audio is fine by connecting a wired speaker to it.Good luck!

get a three way headphone split, or you could get a little weird and plug headphones into the fx send and mon send outputs and control the volume via the send knobs on each channel!

Yes, Mam. I currently have mine hooked up to my Dell Desktop. They are connected to an electrical outlet. There 3 connections on the speaker with the volume and tone control. The electric plug for the outlet, small wire with green plug to connect to back of computer, and a small black wire to connect this (right) speaker to the left speaker. If you are looking for good inexpensive speakers, these fit the bill. Of course, if you want a lot of "boom", my suggestion is to use your stereo system. I do not use my computer to enjoy great music. Wouldn't be able to concentrate..........lol Good Luck Yes, Mam. I currently have mine hooked up to my Dell Desktop.

Did you get it? I have one of them, it doesn't work. Neither do 3 others I have tried in the last week though, so I think I have a bad sound card. Sorry - I think it worked alright before it stopped working, but I could not swear it and I have a PC. Good luck.

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 am using monitor audio bx2. it sounds ok, but i returned them. I said them because the first one come with one channel no soundthe second one became one channel no sound after few days use.

Best way to determine if this is compatibility issue is to plug the headphone jacks into another computer. or device. Also, make sure you're plugging the jacks into the correct location.

I'm a novice with electronics, but you could try hooking up a pair of PC computer speakers and plugging them in to the headphone jack to see if the problem persists in the new speakers. it could possibly bypass the problem and give you better sound quality. If not, there must be a problem with the soundcard and time for a tech to check it out. If it's warranty, get a estimate from experienced tv repair before you take it to where HCL uses, I've heard not so nice things about their work, google them for reviews of their company. Sorry, I don't remember name, but you'll find it in some of the bad reviews on Amazon. See if you can better advise, but I should be pretty close. Sorry I meant TCL.

can you handle the power of a machine that can kick the crap out of anything sold by Dell or Apple? if you can't, step off. I literally just connected a new audio card and some studio monitors and I'm rocking this house. This ain't for metrosexuals son, this is for people that bring the noise..

Mine was the same, so I went to Staples and found an inexpensive set of speakers with a volume control switch and an audio jack. the sound now is incrediable!! Im glad I kept it! (The speakers cost me $10 and could be used for a computer or laptop as well.)

Nice name... similar to mine. Try a few things 1) ensure plugs are in all the way from audio interface to speakers and vice versa. 2)You can try seeing if changing the chords would work. Like using a different brand or get gold tip 1/4 inch. 3) If the problem is with in a DAW like logic or Ableton, etc, try changing the buffer size to something lower like 256 or so. 4) try getting a really good audio interface. 5) If none works, which mean you're maybe talking about the natural hissing noise most "powered" monitors would give off. Some are louder that others. I just upgraded to the HS8 and I still hear some but when the music plays don't hear anything. Nice name... similar to mine.

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.
