does the usb and the jack both have to be connected to get sound or can it work with only one ?

Both have to be connected. The USB only gives it power and turns on the lights.

Yes, they both need to be connected.The USB gives the speaker power and the jack transfers the sound. (Just tested)

It does have a single mini input jack. So you would need an adapter and possibly a pre-amp for the input. I don't know for sure since I have not connected mine this way.

It only comes with the jack. I had to purchase a second headphone set that uses a USB connection.

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

Yes its a single jack you can also use the usb adapter and usb headphones. It also has Bluetooth capability.

Hello the USB is 2 channel stereo, Thanks 8thstreet.com (((8thstreet Music)))

No it does not (in most instances). I have always used it with just a single USB connection.

This unit has a single (one) usb port, you could try to use a splitter but I could not say it would work. You should contact the manufacturer (TP link) on this.

Do you have a single jack for microphone/headphone? This headset is designed to use two jacks for each function, but some computers only have one jack for both. If this is the case, you'll either have to find a different headset or (the better option in my opinion) purchase a adaptor like the Syba SD-CM-UAUD USB Stereo Audio Adapter which will allow you to essentially make the headset a usb headset. This is the specific one i use, and it works great, but obviously there are different options. If you don't have an open usb port just unplug the lights, they are nothing more than cosmetic, and will not affect sound in any way.

You can choose to only use one if you would like. It also works with other speakers if you have the right connection cord.

No, but I'm very happy with it. I plug in some little i-music speakers and it's no problem at all. It does take up one USB port, but that's not a problem for me, either.

they were showing the two different jack options...either a mini jack or usb can be used with the line-out jack

Actually, Magpie, the jack plugs into the (green) 1/8" port where the speakers would normally go. I'm pretty sure the USB is only for power. One not, though... this combined cable is INCREDIBLY SHORT. As in... unnecessarily short. Come on, Satechi... spring for an extra couple feet of cable so the speakers aren't tethered within 3ft. of the tower!

probably for audio in but not audio out. There are 2 jacks, one input, one output.

It only requires one USB connection. I would not recommend this product, however, as it did NOT work when new. Very disappointed in the product.

No. It only had one jack. I didn't keep it because it didn't make any difference in the sound.

Just one USB connection. All USB-powered speakers I've seen work the same way: the two speakers are connected by one wire, and one speaker has a USB cable and a stereo miniplug cable to connect to a computer. Interestingly, the first time I used them, I didn't have to connect to any audio source. As soon as I plugged into power, I picked up a local radio station. No thanks. I'd rather spend twice the money for ten times the quality. Walk away from these. Any Logitech set will make you happier.
