A:AnswerThe speakers have an automatic mute feature which may be causing you to "hit/tap" the controller. I would do some research (contact the company's customer service dept. or just ask Uncle GOOGLE if there's a way to defeat this function. Hope this helps.
A:AnswerDon't know, but I doubt it, as your computer uses USB drivers to interface with your computer when connected through USB. If you use a mini plug patch cord with a male stereo connection on each end, that works. plug one end into the computer's headphone jack (if that works), and the other end into the bose's hockey puck volume control.

A:AnswerThank you for reaching out to us to ask. The version of the system sold in the USA is 120 V, 50/60 Hz. For that reason, we recommend purchasing in the country where it will be used.
A:AnswerYes they will rock the house at higher volume. I have the volume set to 30% and it fills my whole office. The bass volume is about 60%. If you turn both volume and bass up it will fill the whole house.
A:AnswerThe satellites are very roughly a foot tall. It looks like you can easily unscrew them off the base; but I'm not sure that's recommended. I've had them connected to both USB and USB 3.0 and they worked fine in both cases.
A:AnswerTry to connect usb plug from you companion to your TV or something else. This Companion Bose system seems to need usb to be plugged even if it's not a pc/mac.
I think Bose does not want you to use this system outside pc/mac environment so much that sound is so good/close to Bose home system.
A:AnswerYes, but some systems need a pre-amp or the power out for the sound will be weak. Also, vinyl is an analog signal. You will lose noticeable sound quality since this is a digital system. But it will still sound good, just not audiophile quality.
