K-GO: How To Set Up w/ Laptop or Computer

Introduction: 

Connecting your KGO Portable Speaker to your laptop or computer is an easy way to bring your audio experience to life. In this guide, we’ll show you how to set up your speaker using the included charging cable, so you can enjoy sound directly from your computer.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Preparing the Speaker for Connection

• Step 1: Take the included charging cable and locate the USB-C port on the bottom of your KGO Portable Speaker.
• Step 2: Open the cover on the bottom of the speaker to reveal the USB-C port.
• Step 3: Plug the USB-C end of the cable into the speaker’s port.

2. Connecting the Speaker to Your Laptop or Computer

• Step 1: Take the other end of the cable (the USB-A side) and plug it into the USB port on your laptop or computer.
• Step 2: Once connected, your KGO speaker will automatically go into USB mode, and you should hear sound from your speaker.

3. Adjusting Sound Settings on Your Computer

• Step 1: If the sound doesn’t play right away, go to the sound settings of your laptop or computer.
• Step 2: In the Output tab, look for the device labeled KGO USB audio.
• Step 3: Select it as the output device to send sound from your laptop or computer to the speaker.

4. Using the Microphone

• The cool part about connecting to your laptop is that you can still use the microphone on your KGO speaker to speak or sing while using the setup.
  • Example: "Check one, two!" Your voice will come through the speaker.
• This makes it a great setup for karaoke with a larger display from your laptop.

5. Important Notes

• While you can use the microphone with this setup, you can’t use it to record your voice into any recording software or DAW. The microphone will only output sound through the speaker.

6. Testing the Sound

• Once everything is set up, you can test the speaker and microphone.
  • Play some audio, adjust the volume, and enjoy the sound from your laptop!
  • You can also use the microphone to interact with the speaker live.

Conclusion:

Setting up your KGO Portable Speaker with your laptop or computer is a simple and fun way to enhance your audio experience. This is perfect for karaoke, presentations, or just enjoying your music with better sound.
