i.e.
Hello,
The speaker you got is USB powered. Upon connecting it to your Mac, it should undergo the Auto Detection process. When you connected it, do you see any signs of power on the speaker? If yes, it is getting power. After connecting the USB cable, connect the headphone jack to the audio jack on your Mac.
Please see diagram below. If you have any clarifications, please comment back. Thank you, lyzmorato
To Which I Responded;
When I Connect As Shown In You Diagram (By The Way,Nice Diagram), How'd You Do That ?
The USB Port Is Connected To The USB Input Port Of My Mac.
The Speaker Connection When Connected To The Headphone Jack On My Mac, It Registers As Under Name "Headphones" Under Type It Says "Built-in Output".
When I Switch Jacks On My Mac To The Other Open Jack [Speaker Output], It Says Under Name "Internal Speakers", & Under Type It Says "Built-in Output".
