Is the USB Cable for audio too or just charging? I'm plugging them to pc but it doesn't detect new speakers when USB is only connection.

In my experience, the USB is only used for charging. The speaker cable is used for the audio.

I hooked it up to my iMac and went to the hardware controls where I'd expect to see the device show up under sound devices and it wasn't there. My guess is it bluetooth only, and the mini USB plug is for charging only, not audio input. Also noted a small tag on the included USB wire that says "For Charging Only".

I think the USB only charges the unit. I have only successfully played sound with the aux

There are two cables, USB for power and an audio (green) cable to plug into the speaker output. If you look closely at the picture you can see them.

It's been a while since my purchase, but I recall that there was a USB cable needed for charging and a speaker input cable to connect to an external audio device. You con't need any other cables. The included ones seemed a little lightweight but they worked fine for me ever since purchase. The audio connector is also the antenna for FM.

If you mean, do they have a separate audio plug on the speakers into which you could plug headphones the answer is no. However, you should note that the USB connection is only for power, you still have to plug these speakers into a regular "speaker/headphone audio" plug in your computer (or whatever you are using them with). That means you could just plug your headphones into the original source audio plug, unless you thought these would work only through a USB connection, in which case these are not the speakers for you anyway.

You need an audio interface. Usually plugs in via USB. The. The speakers can conect to that. They connect via 1/4 inch cables. An interface will run you about 200 for a cheap one that's good enough.

The A/D cable does not work in both directions - the signal flow must be *from* the audio end *to* the USB end. That means you can not play out through your USB jack using this cable. You will need a D/A box to play out from your USB port to your speakers, and probably an amp as well (unless your speakers are powered). You can find these little guys branded as external USB sound cards, typically for under $50. Some of the nicer ones have gain and processing controls, but most will have an 1/8" TRS jack rather than RCA or full size phono jacks. When you go looking for a solution, remember to consider all the connections you'll have to make as well as power considerations.

The speakers come with a supplied cable for charging speakers and connecting to audio source. The cable connected right to a cell phone

I got the same issue (connected with USB) plus, has static. The on/off control is in the weird location and many times I get the Static with a noise in the speaker. They even get sound when I turn on and off the light in the room. It never happened with the previous speakers.

The USB is for power only. Not for sound transmission. Optical is your only means of getting sound from the source, to your headphones.

These are not powered speakers, they need to be connected to a receiver or amplifier. If you wanted to use these with a computer you would first need to connect the pc's audio output to an amplifier.

How do I hook these speakers in to my Mac G4? Is there a USB connection or only RCA type jacks requiring a sound card to be put into my computer? Or can they be attached some other way? Any advice would be appreciated.

Not sure what cable you received but when I purchased these speakers they came with a dual micro usb (speaker end) to USB/3.5 mm stereo jack (device end). I would contact the manufacturer customer service. I have not used them but I heard they are quite good helping customers.

I purchased a mini USB Bluetooth adaptor and plugged it into the PC. Do not specifically remember, but it looked for the speakers and as long as the speakers are electrically plugged in and the button turned on to blinking it worked. My PC and speakers are in different rooms but less than 30'.

The speaker connections are on the back. They are wire post/banana plugs. I don't know what generation of USB it uses, but there is a manual floating around the web. CR-N755

Sorry, but no. The speakers get their power from a powered USB port on the connected device. There's two cables that come from the speakers - one is a USB connector that plugs into the PC or Mac for power and the other is an audio connector that plugs into the headphone jack of the PC or Mac. I bought these speakers to connect to a used Mac that had no audio to the speakers (but still had headphone audio) and they work great. Unlike the iPad Mini, the Mac has a powered USB port.I suppose you could try connecting the USB connector of the speakers to a USB charging plug, but I don't know if that will work and that seems inconvenient for a mobile device like the iPad Mini.
