Yes, provided you have a sound card with 3 audio ports. I used this with a Media Center PC a while back and it worked great!

What software you're running shouldn't matter. If your PC has a 3.5mm speaker output jack you can hook them up.

Your desktop won't "see" them. They are not a USB device. The USB only supplies power and the audio comes through the stereo plug. Connect the USB to any port on your computer (this is the equivalent of plugging them in) and connect the stereo plug to your audio output (headphone jack or center channel or whatever your computer has, it's usually the green jack if that helps).They connect to your computer audio just like any regular speakers. The only difference is they get their power by plugging into USB instead of plugging into a wall outlet. Hope this helps, they're great little speakers! Your desktop won't "see" them.

You definitely can hook them up but if you're after quality stereo sound this isn't the amp you want since it has a mono output. You might want to read about hooking speakers up in series and parallel to get the desired impedance.

I haven't tried them with my computer. They plug into an "audio out" connector, same size as the headset plug on your computer. In theory, this should work.

What Brent said. Or get a audio interface. And connect them via 1/4" trs and USB. If your using these to make music I recommend the interface option as you'll want that for the sound card inside and it takes a load off your computer

Sorry I can't answer. I see no reason why they would as it is just a bluetooth connection. If the computer has BT then these should work. They also work as a hard wired headphone.

Yes! Use the USB connection to hook up to your computer, and connect a set of powered speakers to the RCA outputs on back of unit.

Sorry. I have not done that. I would assume you would connect them to the laptop.

Hi Donna - from a quick search, there are adapters that exist that will go from 1/8" male to USB (found some on the other popular bidding site that ends in 'bay'). The ads say they will pass audio and power - I've never tried it so I don't know if it actually works. These speakers have decent sound (I've been happy with them), but I'm just using them instead of my laptop's speakers so I'm sitting fairly close to them - I'm not sure how great they'd be with a TV - maybe fine - just not sure.

They do work well when connected to a stereo receiver, but I do not know if they can be connected to a PC.

I only used them to conect external hard drive to my desk top. should work because it is only any extention to your current cord. Get one and try it. If it dosen't work amazon will take it back.

You need an Y-adapter cable to let them work.here is the link:http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00RZ27DK6

You will need an amplifier and an audio box to connect the amp to your PC. These speakers become more expensive than sticker price when amplifier, audio box, and cords are considered. I would NOT purchase these. Spend the extra money now on a pair of good self-powered speakers and an audio box and thats all you'll need. Spend the money on that stuff now or spend MORE money on these speakers as you go.

I don't believe you can hook this to a PC without some kind of odd setup. I have had this system for my home theater system for probably a good 5 years now and I still love them and have no thought of replacing them. I just really would have no clue how you could hook them up to a PC. I don't think a PC would put out nearly enough power to run these, the subwoofer is quite large and would take a bit of power to operate.

You can connect these speakers to a PC the same manner you would connect an Ipod to these speakers. I currently have this running through my computer, and it's pretty good sound. I simply have a stereo to rca cable running from my PC to my receiver, plugged into any of it's audio ports (I used CD), and you are good to go.

These are not computer speakers. That means that they need an amplifier (such as a receiver) to be used with the computer.
