To watch a movie or listen to music on a personal computer is extremely convenient - there is no advertising, and the viewing itself can be stopped at any minute. And special programs help to communicate with friends and family at any time of the day. But to transmit sound to the computer you need speakers. People who are far from technology, it is sometimes difficult to connect audio equipment. It is for them that we will describe in detail how to connect the speakers to the computer.
How to connect the speakers to the computer correctly?
The simplest connection is with a normal pair of audio equipment. As a rule, no one, not even beginners, has any difficulties. So:
- Connect the speakers to the computer turned off. The simple speakers have two cords - a power cable and a cable for connecting to a computer with a 3.5 mm TRS plug, or in the popular Jack. If to talk about where to connect the speakers to the computer, the TRS cable is inserted into the appropriate connector of the computer in front or behind. The connector is indicated by green or the speaker image.
- After that, start the computer, connect the speakers to the network and turn them on by pressing the button or by turning the volume knob.
- In the drive we insert a disk with drivers from the device, if there is, we start them and install.
- Listen to any video or audio file. If the sound appears, you have succeeded. If this does not happen, go to "Start" in the "Control Panel". There, go to the section that is responsible for setting the sound and turn on the "Speakers".
You should have no problem with how to connect the speakers without a plug to the computer. Modern small-sized models, consisting of only one column, are most often equipped not with a Jack, but with a USB connector, through which both the power and the sound are transmitted. It's something you need to insert into a similar input in your computer or laptop.
How to connect Bluetooth speakers to a computer?
It is very convenient to use wireless speakers that work with Bluetooth technology. You can connect such a device only to the laptop, since the fixed computer does not support the wireless channel. So:
- On the column, hold down the button that is responsible for turning on and connecting.
- On your laptop, turn on the Bluetooth device in the Taskbar.
- Then select "Add a device" from the menu. The laptop will search for all the devices located in its reach.
- When the list of devices appears, select the name of your speakers in it and double-click on it.
- Sometimes, in order to establish communication, the columns are required to enter a password. It is standard - five zeros or numbers from 1 to 5. This is usually indicated in the instruction.
- It remains to play the desired audio file by clicking "Play".
How to connect multiple speakers to a computer?
The 5.1 acoustic system will allow you to view your favorite movie with sound quality like in a movie theater. True, sometimes connecting speakers involves a number of problems. But there are no unsolvable problems! So, you need to perform a number of actions to connect:
Check if your sound card supports connection. On the external panel of the sound card there should be three audio inputs:
- Orange for center speaker and subwoofer;
- Green - for the front clones;
- black - for the rear speakers.
Insert the tulip cable from the audio system with Jack connectors to the audio inputs of the corresponding colors.
Usually, after these actions, you can turn the volume on full power. But if there is no sound, and the computer does not see the connected speakers, then maybe the reason is in the non-working status of the channel in the mixer. Then it is necessary in the "Control Panel" to go to the sound settings section and see if the channels are active and to connect the correct type of acoustics.
