Yes it works on laptop as long as your laptop has a USB connection. The surround sound does work on movies but you may need to configure the settings to your liking.

It will work sound wise but the mic wont unless your laptop has a jack for it

These headphones work On laptops with a mic and headphone jack. The surround sound works great with Netflix movies

It should work if you have the RCA inputs on your sound bar and 3.5mm jack in your laptop

yes it works, however, I have gone through 3 sets of wires/jacks that hook up to the laptop due to the connection and wire going bad. The speakers are good and sound great, but this is not ideal for a computer that will be moved around a lot like my laptop. The next set I buy will have Bluetooth capabilities. This set would be better for a desktop computer.

If you have HDMI ports on both your laptop and TV it will work.It plays both video and audio with no problems.I always hook up my laptop to my TV to watch TV shows that I miss because of working nights.

Yes, you can hook it up to a DVD player or computer and show movies with it with reasonably good picture quality, but sound may well be inadequate unless you have other speakers.

If your laptop has a DVI output (and a lot do NOT), then yes. Sound would still be through your laptop's audio system, not the TV.

It takes a few seconds for the sound to switch over but it does and mine works fine. I use a Lenovo laptop T420s. Good luck!

I think it will work for the video portion. I am not sure exactly what I said but I didn't change the system preference. It didn't carry the audio signals so I had to get external speakers.

Don't know if this will work the same on the 550 as with my DVD player.... Occassionally I need to select a choice other than the default on the movie's menu for audio. Hope this helps. You might want to post this on AV Science Forum if you contunie to have problems.

If you are using another system, like say a video gaming console, you will not get true surround sound. The audio will only play from the front 4 speakers for any other device that is not directly coming from the dvd player system.

I didn't buy this for myself, so I don't have access to operating it; but in reading the owners manual online, it certainly states that sound movies can be created (recorded), so I'm assuming that it DOES have audio. I took a screenshot of the instructions (page 40), but haven't the ability in this forum to attach the specific instruction. HTH

Not sure. I use mine for multiple inputs to TV but my inputs are XBox360 and PC videos via HDMI port on laptop. In both cases the sound comes through just fine. I've played downloaded videos rated as 720p video from my laptop to it and that worked fine too. Hope that helps.

The unit does not have audio outputs.. You will have to connect an additional audio source from the device being used for the projector. If a laptop is being used, you need to hook up a pair of speakers to that using the 3.5 mm audio output from the laptop. (a decent quality computer speaker system should work fine) .. If a DVD player is being used, you will need an additional audio amplifier with speakers to be connected from the DVD player itself, (usually RCA type connections).

Check to see if your TV has RCA audio inputs in the back (it probably does...they're the little round red and white ones with a hole in the middle). Next, I'm assuming your laptop has a headphone jack. If it does, then go to Radio Shack and ask for a "stereo mini to male RCA" cord. Plug the mini end into your headphone jack on your laptop and plug the RCA end into the back of your TV. This should work. If you have surround sound, then you could also plug the RCO end into your surround sound system.

I believe you could change the settings on your laptop to run the video through the HDMI but the audio through the laptop's speakers.EDIT 1: I just tried it out myself on a Windows 8 laptop and I was able to switch audio output from the projector to the laptop seamlessly.

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.

Yes, I have it hooked up to a Panasonic and it definitely helps. It won't provide much of a surround sound effect but the overall sound is excellent, I'm happy with it.
