You didn't say what kind of computer you have. For modern versions of Windows (7, 8, 8.1) you don't need an app. The OS will recognize the device and it just works. I don't know about MacOS or Linux. Probably it will work, but I only use Windows with these headphones.

It works really well with Mac OS X - no issues, no special drivers. Just plug it in and it becomes one of the 'audio out' choices.

I have Windows 7 and had no problem with this headset. I just plugged it into the computer and it worked beautifully. I needed to do nothing else.

I got it to work with my browser on my Macbook & I will be working on getting it on my Samsung tablet.For my MacBook I opened preferences..then sound then output then clicked on the speaker. I may of missed a step but its not hard once you get to output.For my tablet I think wifi speaker app will work.This all took lots of searching and patience but I see the light at the end of the tunnel.LOL the instructions that came with the speaker are helpful..but I have built things that are simpler that had more pieces/steps..LOLGreat sound great speaker when set up right!!

Try entering Setup then press profile + general + personalize + down volume (amount sound).I hope it helps. More, I am selling a Nokia 808 Pureview as new as when I bought, in box. Want to buy? Can you tell me anyone to buy it? It has also screen protector and case.

Mine does not work without being pulled into the device as well. Also, the volume is so low I don't even use it, and trust me I don't like things really loud. I just need enough volume to play in a classroom. I feel a bit like I got stuck on this one. However, it is not worth the cost of returning it. Sorry I can't be of more help. Julie N.

I didn't use it that way...I used it w/ an SD card and it worked fine...the issue was there was no volume control (seriously?). Yup. No volume controls. Great sound...just way too loud and you can't turn it down if there just plain isn't a volume control....no idea what they were thinking...

I am using mine on a laptop. Once the software is loaded it will set up the USB unit as default. It over-rides the laptop sound chip. My sound chip still works but not when this unit is on. I have solved this problem on other laptops with with cheaper usb devices that give you no-frills sound. You might want to try one of those to make sure a device like this will work. If so, I highly recommend coming back and buying the x-fi.

Works fine for me, I use no sound card. Let me say this though: I use FL Studio, which uses that special audio driver, and it doesn't seem to like it when I do live recording via the FL sound driver. I have to go into my Audio options, disable my audio, and then it will function for recording live sounds (just a pain really, but still works). Other than that, I have no complaints running it through my 20$ logictech speakers.

You may have to switch to external speaker the first time you use it! Click on the little apple (top left corner), Go to *system preferences (may just say preferences depending on what os you have), then go to *sound, then select *external speakers. Hope that helps!

Lol. That happened to me too. You need to plug in both the usb cable and speaker/headphone cable into the laptop for it to work. Additionally there's a volume control button on the cord itself. If you think that it's playing too softly, that's because the volume is not turned up all the way. Trust me it plays pretty loud for such small speakers.

The pause button works, but the mic and volume control doesn't.The volume control never works with android products (at least from my experiences), however, I think I might have a faulty mic. Don't quote me on that though.

during set up, how was the volume set in your computer/pad/phone? i control the volume in my setup, from my iPad. i believe that i too had that issue, and my son enlightened me. i may also have incorrectly set up the blue tooth. certainly glad my son is patient... because i have only been retired from being a computer programmer for over 30 years, would have hoped that i would have been able to set up a small speaker on my own!

can you be more specific? sounds silly but did you turn the volume up? My son has 1 & it plays very well. He said it might be defective. You can return it to amazon and they will send you another. Lora K. Masso

The sound output is not that great by itself. I connect mine to a JAM portable speaker which allows me to adjust the volume sound to what I want. If you want the sound output tol be heard by a large group, you will need to find an external speaker to your liking.

I had the same problem, the instructions stink! I thought that something would come up that would guide me as to what to do, duh! I am not great at electronic know-how, but I finally figured out that you need a program, like Windows Media, to work the thing, it has no program of its own. I opened up Windows Media Player and clicked on Sync. Then it showed the MP player and I figured it out from there.

I just got the large one and let me just put this out there in case someone else has this problem. I paired this with my iphone and it wasn't playing music through it. So I "forgot" the speaker on my iphone. Turned the speaker off and back on and then held the "menu" button down to get it into pairing mode again and repaired the two and it started working fine. It would previously take calls and play them through the speaker, but not music. Not sure where the problem was, but it seems to be resolved.Sound quality and volume are pretty good for the money I paid. It feels like it's built sturdy and looks good. Haven't tried the aux out yet. I just got the large one and let me just put this out there in case someone else has this problem. I paired this with my iphone and it wasn't playing music through it.

Something was wrong. I have been using mine flawlessly on my sony player. I started with the red and white audio outputs and then changed to the toslink optical cable. Remember that you are adding another volume control, and you need to enable the appropriate outputs.
