Can these be used as speakers for a desktop PC? I just bought a set and they turned on fine, but no sound. Plugs are right and PC sees it.

Hi, of course you can use for you desktop PC or laptop, when you connect the USB adaptor from de speakers to the PC or laptop, find the system icon and install those speakers, no need any software, only adjust and ready. If you want to know if the speakers its Ok, try with a iphone's connector power adaptor

I figured it out - I was trying to plug in both the USB and the microphone cord, like my old computer speakers. However, once I disconnected the microphone cord I have sound. Love them! No more crackling and interference!

You have to change where the audio is being played through, if you have a windows computer then you change it by clicking the speaker on the bottom right corner of the screen and change the playback device

These speakers are not powered and therefore will work anywhere. You must have a receiver or power amp in order to drive them...

I tried them with my PC and I got them to work, but only in mono mode, not stereo. I dont know why. I only tried briefly because I wasnt planning on using them with my PC anyway...and I tried right after I got them and wasnt familiar with what I was doing. I havent had time to try them again.

What Brent said. Or get a audio interface. And connect them via 1/4" trs and USB. If your using these to make music I recommend the interface option as you'll want that for the sound card inside and it takes a load off your computer

Does your right speaker have an orange power on light when the speakers are powered on? Do you have the connection to your PC in the right slot? This is a fairly simple hook up so if you have power to the speakers, and the connection is in the right slot it is a problem with the speakers, as I assume you had speakers to your PC before and they worked.

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

The speakers themselve should be enough. I have a crappy sound card and these speakers sound wonderful! Good luck. They're awesome!

I have a set of Logitech Z 5300 7.1 speakers that I used with my old desktop. Is it possible to hook these up using this laptop? Thanks.

I don't see why they wouldn't all you need for them in the audio port and they should work, I like these speakers a lot- never had a problem with them.

No these will not work as computer speakers. But Klipsch does make the Pro Media that will.

If the PC speakers have RCA type jacks on them then this cable should work, but most PC speakers already have a cable that will plug directly into your computer. This cable would normally be used to connect the line output of your computer to a stereo amplifier or the output of an audio device such as a mixer or receiver to the line input of your computer.

No. They're made to be used with a separate receiver. Logitech makes some good pc speaker sets.

I suppose you could in theory, but since these speakers have no internal power supply you'd need some form of amplification between the speakers and the pc. Not really the use they're intended for.

My speakers came with a Dell desktop PC & require connection to an AC 120V electrical source to work. They connect to audio out on the PC via a miniature jack.

These speakers are passive, and not powered speakers. You need an amplifier as well as your computer to get sound out of the speakers. If you want to get a pair of powered speakers, then you can just have the computer send a signal to the speakers and they will work. But, you must be able to control the volume level from your computer. Hope this helps.

With these speakers you will need another amp. You could hook some computer speakers up to it and it will work though.

These speakers were not made to be plugged into any RCA output source, (jacks). You will need to go to your local Radio Shack store and purchase and/or fabricate something yourself. Mine are plugged into a home stereo reciever that has both RCA and the jacks on these speakers.
