The plugged in speakers override the laptop speakers. As soon as you unplug them the laptop speakers will be in play. I had to adjust volume on the speakers via the laptop though. If there were a volume control on the speakers it would be so much easier.

At first, I plugged in the cord to the USB port, but I didn't hear anything coming from this GOgroove speaker. After changing to different USB ports, I found one that works with the speaker. Very loud!!

When connecting the speakers (GOgroove) your laptop automatically stop working when switched back to work on your laptop.

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.

Don't know. But nowadays, most of the speakers or nearly all, can plug into all kinds of laptops and other devices, I believe. They're pretty standard, the ports, something like that.

I have not had any issues with the speakers. I do have an occasional issue with communication with Samsung tv where surround doesn't turn on when tv does but not really concerned about it.

Nope. Sorry. This is just a Video Graphics Adapter (VGA) connector. For sound, try using a bluetooth enable speaker or you can plug your external speakers by means of an audio jack. If your laptop has speakers, that can produce sound too...

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).

I have my computer output connected to a surround system instead of directly into the television. Make sure that you have the audio on your computer turned on and the connection to "audio out" and not "microphone". If connected properly, you should not be able to hear the laptop audio. It should be directed thru the converter and combined into the HDMI connection at the set. There should be no audio coming from the computer speakers if properly connected.

You need a receiver (with a built-in amplifier) and then a connection from your laptop to the receiver. These are not powered speakers. The speaker wire connects to each speaker and then to the channels in the back of the receiver.

Plug the small mini jack (3.5mm) into the headphone jack of your laptop.I leave the speaker system turn up (80%) and do all the volume adjustments with the laptop volume control.

Make sure you don't have the "mute" button pressed, make sure you have the laptop's speakers selected as the audio device, make sure audio drivers are installed, and if all else fails contact Lenovo support. You may qualify for warranty repairs.

1. If you have two speakers make sure they are both on the same electrical source.2. Make sure all the cords/outlets are properly grounded.3. Fluorescent lights can cause noise. See if that is the source.4. Try different input sources. I had a system that 'buzzed' a bit, if the laptop was displaying a white screen.

As far as speaker type, i dont really know.. the speakers are located on the bottom of the laptop and they seem like good quality speakers.

While fixing my power supply issue, I unplugged the speakers to get them out of my way. Did you remember to plug them back in (assuming you also unplugged them)?

This device is just a projector. If using a laptop your laptop should have speakers or use speakers that can be hooked up to your laptop.

They're passive speakers so you'd need an amplifier between your computer and your speakers. I use an Onkyo 8255 receiver/amplifier, which my computer is connected to (laptop 1/8" jack into RCA jack using an adapter).

Adjust your volume with the computer volume control. There is a speaker icon on the bottom of the screen (I use mine on a Toshiba laptop).

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!
