The platform for this type of equipment is designed for its potential use on TV or bypassed through an audio video component system. Hooking up to a PC is the tricky part... Attach USB cable to USB port on your computer. Make sure your computer USB port works and driver is installed properly to detects it otherwise it will fail. Then connect other end of the cable to the USB port of the karaoke. Plug mini jack end of RCA cable to PC. RCA Cable plugs into "line in" port of PC and the other end into "line out". There is one RED and one WHITE match colors if RCA cable jacks to colors of ports. Install karaoke system software onto your computer and follow instructions which usually auto installs the driver.

Ok we just have to do away with "trial and error" I did not anticipate you were using new Windows 8. MagicSing does not work on Win 8. Have you tried old computer running on Win 7 or XP? My question to you is why bother using it with PC unless you have remarkable speakers installed onto your PC because if you are just using ordinary PC speakers built in would only defeat the purpose of enhancing your quality of voice and thwarting imperfections. I hope I made sense to you that you actually get the best using TV/audio/video component system. Bottom line, driver that comes with it should indicate that it runs on Win 8 Ok we just have to do away with "trial and error" I did not anticipate you were using new Windows 8.

No USB speaker connection for a PC. Has the regular headphone connection for regular speakers.

I's sorry but I haven't played any WAV files via USB. I doubt if I will, because I use the CD6005 largely to play CD's. If I do so in the future, I will update you. Thanks.

Thanks Matt! Let me know if you get WoO to play. Would adding a flash drive have any benefit??? I too contacted Sony and got transferred 3 times - never getting any help from anyone I talked to.

i'm running ubuntu and it works perfectly... nothing special needed to work... you may need to go to sound settings to make sure it's your default audio output.

Unfortunately, I can't help you. I bought this unit from an Amazon vendor "like new" and it wouldn't play. They sent a second unit and it wouldn't play either. I ended up buying a different brand and it worked fine.

I have a similar problem with mine. When I plug the player in, the software doesn't recognize it. I've tried different ports , too. (USB1&2) I never get the green audio lines on the graph. I tried reinstalling several times. In my review I stated that I payed for nothing more than a Walkman.

Let me ask, do you have it on the charger? Because if you do, it will not play the flash drive. Just as a suggestion, return it while you can because it is very hard to navigate your music files and then mine simply got stuck on one song and wouldn't play anything else. Needless to say, I trashed it about a month after I got it.

I got mine today. All I can get is a white screen. I am downloading the mp3 player recovery tool on creative's website right now. But I am thinking mine will have to go back.EDIT-- Creative's recovery tool didn't help. Nothing helps. Looks like this thing is going back to Amazon. I will see if I can get my money back.

You can not drive this with a usb connection. It takes only an analog input. You need a DAC (like one from Fiio or Schiit Modi or MusicStreamer) to run off the usb port. You can use the analog out from your headphone port - the sound is much better if you use a good DAC from the usb port though, especially is you run the DAC output through a passive attenuator so you set your computer sound output to the max..

Do you have to have a audio input plug to use this unit. Is there a way to connect via USB. Reason, I don't think my computer has a audio input slot, at least none that I can find on the back.

Did you install the software? Any error messages? Does it chime when you plug it in to you computer? Did you plug in the controller and carver? Use the same usb ports everytime. Try restarting your computer too. If windows what version do you have?

I had to download the driver a few times to get it to work when connected to my PC. Hope this helps...

My unit just arrived a couple days ago and I am unable to play video using Windows Media Center as well. I tried downloading the "latest" video drivers from Asus, which were months old - even more outdated than what was already installed! "Updating" (downdating?) the video drivers did nothing to improve the problem. The video files play perfectly on the PC using Windows Media Player; but not Windows Media Center. I get audio and a motionless garbled or black picture only.

Try disconnecting the USB transmitter, restart the PC and reconnect the transmitter. I have never had any connecting issues with mine.Hope it helps.
