Not sure you can physically hook them up I do it when using Apple Airplay through Apple TV and a newer Apple device.

Your laptop needs to have a sound output 3.5mm, find a cable that is male 3.5mm to red and black/white output male.

You will need to connect audio between the laptop and whatever amp/speakers you require (even your laptop speakers might be usable.) In any case, you may likely need to change your audio settings on the laptop so HDMI audio is not in use. There may be some audio breakout boxes for HDMI cables, but for the price and addtional hardware involved, its not worth it. I've never used one.

Hi Deborah, I have been successful with my hookup and audio. At this point I would make sure your laptop supports a direct HDMI connection and that you have changed your audio output in the control panel under whatever O.S. you have. Hope this helps. Also, in some situations, the audio is going to default to the laptop if the connection is a HDMI Input. You want a HDMI Output on the laptop.

Check your monitor. Newer monitors should have a plug for the speaker/soundbar to plug into. The older monitors require a A/C adapter.

Depends on what kind of sound card. Laptop int. sound card I would say yes you need a card. External, or pci-e would be good.

You will need a digital coax audio cable (colored orange) to connect your TV to the adaptor, and then a stereo RCA audio cable (red and white) to connect the adaptor to the soundbar.

The soundbar accepts HDMI and digital (optical or coax). To use your receiver, you would have to connect the HDMI out or some other digital pre-out. Another option is to buy an un-powered unit and the speaker terminals from the receiver would power it.

You don't need anything if your laptop (or any other device) has Bluetooth. If it doesn't, you'd need a bluetooth adapter plugged into an available USB port. For the latter, the software/drivers should ship with, or, more often, be downloadable from the adapter manufacturer. DBests are wonderful speakers, and after you pair them the first time, they'll connect automatically and immediately whenever you turn the speakers on while you're playing music.

It connects with an optical cable. Any TV or AV receiver with an optical output can use the soundbar.

Use the audio in on the tv and connect it to the red white on the soundbar.

I just bought this monitor and wanted audio too. What do I have to do to get audio?

Think of this soundbar as being a replacement for traditional speakers so you'll need an amplifier. If you don't have an amp or your TV doesn't have speaker outputs, you'll want to find a soundbar that has the amp built in and accepts some sort of digital input.

Your laptop probably does not have an audio input like many desktop PCs. Mine only has a headphones / speaker jack. You can plug it into any standard AV equipment with an RCA type plug so long as you have the additional cabling to reach it since the attached cables are only half a foot.

No, this is analog you need a soundcard for it. MAybe look for some external ones, not as good but better. Don't waste your money for this for a laptop.

It comes with a digital audio cable, which is the best way to connect it. It may have come with RED connection as well, but can't recall. This is a great sound bar.

No, it needs to be connected to a computer's usb port. I don't believe a TV would work for this sound bar.
