Audio jacks are them green ports. If your not using them then it must be hdmi. If you are using hdmi then select hdmi as the default audio device.

Is your monitor's sound cable plugged into the green audio port on your tower? I'm assuming you're not using HDMI, but just DVI and the monitor likely has a separate cable for sound.

There's really no reason to plug your speakers into your monitor if the speaker cable can reach the ports on your tower, but to each his own.
