can it be plugged in to practice with only a desktop computer?

You don't even need a computer - just plug it into 110 AC (you need the power supply that you have to buy separately, but it's worth it because it goes through batteries really fast), plug your bass, in and either headphones, or you can run theout put through a stereo.

Yes for practice only through headphones. Sounds really bad with a bass on the speaker but good on the headphones.

Yes! Use the USB connection to hook up to your computer, and connect a set of powered speakers to the RCA outputs on back of unit.

Probably not. You would need a digital input on your PC. Very few computers have such an input.

If it has a USB port I would think so. Using the speaker with my desktop was a simple matter of plugging it into my USB port.

We do not own a regular desktop so I do not know for sure. You should be able to as there is a USB port.

You can't use it on a computer only !! Need to use it on powered speakers or a mixer ect...

No, if for instance you're using the 4-Port on a laptop, you can plug in a wired mouse. However, if you are trying to plug in an external dvd drive, then it won't work without the power adapter being plugged in. I don't have a desktop but that's what I found with my Macbook Pro. Hope this helps. Also, be aware that the adapter cord is about 3' long.

yes if the computer has a USB plug-in. I doubt there is any computer that is still working today without one. I cannot say that this matters, but preferably the plug-in is in the front of the computer. May work just fine in back. It comes with a very small transmitter that has to be plugged in one of your available USB slots.

Just find an open USB port and plug in. No special software needed (you'll use the volume control on the desktop).

Well you can try it and see, I only use it on my PC to plug in to a USB slot!

I would think not, as a computer is not a mixer or preamp designed to do so.

I'd never given any thought to this until receiving your question. The unit only has a socket for the mini-plug as is used for headphones. I just tried plugging in a desktop speaker from a "all in one" type unit (w/radio/cassette/CD) and it played just fine - BUT keep in mind that only one speaker can be played thru it, and even if you use a "Y" adaptor it'll still come out mono. So the short answer is Yes, with limitations.

It plugged into my laptop, and I used it for meeting/video chat for class, and it worked fine. Not sure about desktop, sorry.

No. This is a desk top computer. It's all connected with wires and a plug to the wall.
