They already come with just the one audio cable that goes into your audio jack on your laptop or headphones jack..

You would need to provide speaker inputs. You can run the audio out of your computer into a inexpesive amp, and them from the amp to the speakers. It works quite well.

Hi Donna - from a quick search, there are adapters that exist that will go from 1/8" male to USB (found some on the other popular bidding site that ends in 'bay'). The ads say they will pass audio and power - I've never tried it so I don't know if it actually works. These speakers have decent sound (I've been happy with them), but I'm just using them instead of my laptop's speakers so I'm sitting fairly close to them - I'm not sure how great they'd be with a TV - maybe fine - just not sure.

this cable should work. most laptops have a 'headphone' jack. check your stereo for 'RCA' type receptacles. you should be good to go. the extra long cable is handy.

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.

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

I used regular speaker cables. I guess im not the best person to ask since im just getting into speakers.

Sorry. I have not done that. I would assume you would connect them to the laptop.

Yes, no problem! You need an HDMI cable coming from the laptop to the adapter, a VGA cable from the adapter to thr projector, and you can try to plug your speakers either to the adapter - there's an audio jack in it - or to the laptop itself. Either way it should work.

I assume you want to hear some type of audio connection. you would be looking for an " RCA " audio cable. This is available at Amazon, Ebay, Radio Shack, etc.

This speaker system needs but two connections. You must plug into a 110 Volt AC receptacle and also plug into the earphone out connection on your laptop. The system will work very well for you but will not be as portable as your laptop is.

I think that you could always just take an old RCA cable that you have lying around the house, which I'm sure most do nowadays with every product you buy having a pair in them, a little bit of speaker wire, cut the RCA open on the male side, splice in the speaker wire, and viola! you have a converter. Just a thought.

Yes, it comes with a cable like this: http://speakercables.org/wp-content/uploads/rca-audio-cables.jpg so, you have 2 options to connect your laptop.

Well you would need to first hook it up to a receiver and then get a left/right male aux to male aux and plug it into your laptop.

If I were you I would look for a good pair of PC speakers. Technically it is possible using an amp and converter cables. If you are using the computer as part of a music system setup then it maybe worth going this route.

These speakers do not come with wires. To connect them to amplifier/receiver you'll need wires, which is usually the case with any stereo system.Regarding the computer - I'm afraid that a typical sound card of a computer/laptop will not supply enough current to make these speakers work.

What type of cable(s) do I need to hook up the audio to an amplifier Thanks Jellik
