If I plug the USB cable into a desktop computer, instead of using the bluetooth, could this be used as a desktop speaker?

No, you can only use it with jack plug to earphone line then it will work perfectly

The including USB cable is for charging, however it also comes with an auxiliary cable to plug into your device.Thank you,Satechi Technical Support

Not through the USB connection but there is an mp3 plug so if you have a two sided headphone jack connector you can use in lieu of PC speakers

Wouldn't work for me. You can plug a mini plug into your sound card then the Satechi, however.

yes, it should but im not sure. I have only used it via Bluetooth. also when I bought my speaker it came with a cord that can be plugged into a headphone jack and into the speaker and used that way.

If your using desktop i would just hard wire it to get best audio. The bm10 is made so you can use it with a receiver and to be mobilize with a device such as a phone or iPod. If your receiver is near you desktop then just wire it or use blue tooth to connect your desktop to the receiver.

Great question. It all depends on your Bluetooth adapter on your desktop. It works excellent with my Note 3 but works like garbage with the $10 Bluetooth adapter I bought. So all depends on the adapter I suppose. The sound quality is amazing regardless.

Check the packaging really carefully, you may have trashed it by accident (it's very small). Don't worry! Firstly, you can easily use any bluetooth device with these speakers. Or, if you really want a Creative bluetooth dongle, I could sell you mine

You can still plug it into your computer's audio port the old fashioned way. Plus you can transmit to it from your phone or other Bluetooth friendly device. It's not a very portable setup in the first place, the satellite speakers are still tethered to the sub.

I haven't used it for that yet but I'm sire it will work for that. Look up best Bluetooth speakers on Google. IThis speaker is on the best list of pc magazine

Yes, it can be used with desktop computer, it does come with usb cable if your computer is not wireless capable but if you want to use it wirelessly you can buy a wireless adapter for your desktop computer.

This speaker will work on a pc which has an available USB port. If it is for a pc, I would not suggest its use. I purchased this to enhance a laptop and it works fine for that. The speaker does not give a 'fulfilling' sound. For a pc, I would definitely suggest a couple desktop speakers, because in my opinion you would be much more satisfied with those especially due to a separate outside power source. These can be had for (probably) not more money than this one costs. The difference in the two would be huge for listening. The Z205 is great for travel portability and laptop enhancement, nothing more.

Easy - just locate the speaker port (the green hole in the front, side or back) and plug it in. No different to a desktop or any other device. Can also plug into mp3, phone, etc.

Is this a waste of money to pay for bluetooth capabilities if I'm only going to use it to plug into a laptop pc for better sound? Is there a better choice for just that usage?

Yes you can. I used this speaker for bluetooth and it was crappy. Just keep in mind that even with a wired connection it will still sound like a fifteen dollar speaker.

Stupid question: will it work with outdoor Bluetooth speakers (50ft) from my Win 8 computer?

Yes but it may not be the best choice. You would have to plug this in your USB and also plug in the audio plug into your laptop. You can get a device that plugs into the USB and connects to the sound through your USB, not through the audio cable. That would be the better way to go. It would be a USB Bluetooth dongle, something like the IOGEAR Bluetooth 4.0 USB Micro Adapter.

I'm not positive that I understand the question. You put the Bluetooth USB adapter into a computer's USB slot. The adapter allows the computer to recognize any Bluetooth devices that are in range. As long as the headset or speakers are using the proper Bluetooth protocol, the computer will be capable of recognizing and using them appropriately. I hope that this answers what you wanted to know.

I have plugged it into a portable speaker, but I just used the audio out port, not USB.

Both will work, so long as you are, A. USB connected to a computer with no Bluetooth (most desktops)B. Bluetooth connected (most laptops,phones and other devices)

It could be used, but you would need an amplifier and a 1/8" (computer) to RCA (amplifier) cable. Easier to buy a set of powered pc speakers
