•Make sure you use a USB cable that connects from an A-type connector (from your PC) to a 4-pin B-type connector (to the receiver).

•The USB specification is version 1.1 compatible, and the USB Audio Class specification is 1.0 compatible.

•Any computer alert sounds will also be heard through the speakers unless you switch them off from the computer’s control panel.
