Hey guy!
Please keep in mind when you read this, that I know next to nothing about electonics, so this my sound like a stupid question. I have a set of computer speakers hooked up to my tv, and they are powered by 5v dc, so I have them hooked up to the usb service on my tv, that way they turn off when I turn off the tv, but the new ones I am getting don't have this (unless it's internal) it is just a straight 100v ac plug. Is there any way that I could either convert 110v ac to 5v dc to power them via usb? if so, would I lose any power?

Would something like this work if I wired the 110v side to each prong of the plug, and the 5v side to the +/- of a usb male?
