Question about Computer Speakers

HingedLolandra · Mar 20, 2014

I have Bose Companion 5 Multimedia Powered Speaker System.

Bose Computer Speakers

I was wondering if there was a way to hook them up to the xbox one and play on my computer monitor. Any help would be appreciated.

Yes you can in both cases. the xbox's usb supplies enough power for the speakers; same goes for the laptop.

ok so i have some cheap computer speakers that I will need to use for the time being for my xbox. The speakers have a usb and 3.5mm connector. Can I plug the power(usb) into a usb jack on my xbox or laptop to give them the necessary power?

Not exactly they will not work with the Xbox One via the main USB connection used to communicate with the PC. Xbox One isn't a Windows PC so that drivers that enable it to work with a PC or Laptop don't exist for the Xbox One.

They might be able to be made to work if your PC monitor has these things. A HDMI jack and either a 3.5mm stereo audio out or RCA Red and White stereo audio out. If it does then the monitor could decode stereo audio from the HDMI output from the Xbox One
and then you would need a 3.5mm Male to Male stereo cable or a RCA Red and White Male to 3.5mm Male cable to plug the monitor output into the stereo input for auxiliary audio devices on the control pod.
