you don't need any drivers. just plug it in and if you have a problem it would be in your pcs audio settings

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.

I didn't keep my VM speakers. There was a problem with them right out of the box. If you really want some good speakers for about the same money, get you some Creative Inspire T3300 speakers. You'll forget all about VM after that!

If it says the red and blue jacks are audio output...connect them and is should work.

Hi, I plugged mine into the USB PORT for power and into the OUTPUT PORT for headphones/speakers and turned them up! That's all. Check to be sure you have the right port for headphones. My Mac laptop has two similar ports, one for input and one for output. The output has a headphone icon. You shouldn't have to do anything else. You can test your output to see if it's the port or the speakers by trying a pair of earbuds or headphones in the port instead. Is there sound? If yes, then it's not the port! Be sure they're plugged into the USB port too. That's about all I can tell you. I sure hope they work! Mine are nice little speakers and when I need to I use them on my Mac because it doesn't have very loud speakers.

You need to use the supplied "long fat" to "short thin" adapter. Look on the box to locate where the adaptor plugs into the card. It is a dual-function female jack. All this is explained in the manual and can also be figured out just by carefully examining everything pictured and described on the box the audio card came packaged in.

I'm not sure how your setup is but I run my speakers out the back jacks and headphones from the front jacks, use your sound card manager to spit them, I am using Realtek for Asus, pretty user friendly

Speakers don't have "output plugs"...speakers have "inputs". What green plug are you talking about? Computer speakers? If it's a 1/8 inch jack, input to the speakers, then yes it will work.

You have to go under your control panel (can't remember what it's called on a mac, but it's your system preferences/options) and set it to use your usb speakers instead of your macbook speakers. I have the same issue with the headphones and with the HDMI port when I hook it up to my tv.

I am running windows xp professional and as Todd states, the software you are running should not matter if you have speaker output jack. Hope you have a speaker jack. You will like these little Creative speakers. Tom

Try this link for a download location and how to install the drivers. The sound card uses the Realtek engine so they should work.http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/1236

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.

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

There is no audio jack. As mentioned previously, base audio is via HDMI. Most true audiophiles won't be happy with stock audio chips. We have, in those instances where we do not have a HDMI monitor with speakers, added a USB audio "stick"/card. This would give you a jack that you could then run into your stereo system. Because this unit is essentially built off the same parts as a laptop, the stock audio chipset will be comparable to what a laptop outputs. There is a Haswell based version which has an audio jack and increases the USB port count and adds USB 3 which should be arriving in 2-6 weeks. There is no audio jack.

Plug the attached sound cable to the port for your sound card and the usb cable into a usb port. there is NO need for the white and red cables at all. The sound from the computer will go thru through the hdmi port via the attached sound cable

Agree with other folks who posted; get a headphone amp or maybe a USB DAC to take on the work of sound processing from the integrated sound card. Though they have gotten better integrated sound cards suck compared to a dedicated card or device. I was looking at picking up Audioengine D1 24-bit Digital-to-Analog Converter for my PC; so that I can connect my monitors and also use the head phone jack for these PC350 or my HD 600s.

Hi, did this work? I have a set of surround computer speakers, with a headphone jack style output. Looking for a cable to plug them into my TV?

Yes if you plan to use the regular speaker cable. Via hdmi would need drivers.

I had prblems with the speaker connections too. Then I foound that all you need is the standard usb cable and allfunctions work fine.
