I;m pretty dumb about this sruff.. all I know is the speakers in the monitor are the only ones working right now, and I have the volume as high as it will go which is NOT high! I don't know if they are amplified or not, and don't know if they will work with another devise, as I really don't have one to check with. All I do know is that they worked with my old computer, but it was XP and this is Win7.. don't know if that makes any diff or not. I plugged them into the back green>green, but I'm getting nothing from them.

Do you have to plug the speakers into a wall socket or USB port (the thing you put a memory stick into)?
Have you checked if the volume control on the speakers are on full?
Have you check if the speakers are switched on?
Do they make a loud noise when you plug it in into the computer?
What speakers are they (make, model).

No they are not plugged into a wall socker, but into the back of the computer.. The plug in thingee is green and I plugged it into the green receiver on the back of the cpu..
Yes the speakers volume control is on.. No they make no noise when I plugged them in.. They are Altec Lansing speakers I used with my old computer, and they worked then.. that was running winXP.. Maybe they are too old to work with this one.. this is Windows 7.. Beginning to think I'm too old to get into new things

First off;If you have monitor speakers, what are they plugged into to get their sound?
For the added speakers;
Go into your Control Panel > Audio settings > and make sure the port is enabled, and additionally that those added speakers are the ones Win7 is listed as using in the first place.
Hi.. I'm really not sure what the speakers on the monitor are plugged into.. I was just told by the fellow setting it up that they are in the monitor..
I went to control panel, but found nothing about which port /and or if it was enabled.. when I go to Cntrl panel>Hardware and sound I find Realtek HD audio manager, but nothing about what port. it just says (someplace in there) that this device is working properly.. Maybe I just need to contact the fellow that installed it for me..? Think I'm getting too old for the new ways..

Doesn't matter about age.So are they portable or USB powered?
Maybe they run out of batterys.
I don't think they have batteries.. They plugged into the back of the cpu.. one cord plugged into the cpu and the other speaker plugged into that speaker.. The mail speaker (the one with the vol control) does have another connection of some sort, but there is no cord for that.. ??

The speakers should be powered by a power source being altec lansing speakers.On the speakers trace all wires to where they go (this wire goes to the other speaker, this wire goes to the green thing for example).
Ok.. on my old speakers.. one cord plugged into the cpu and the other speaker plugged into that speaker.. The main speaker (the one with the vol control) does have another connection of some sort, but there is no cord for that.. ?? There IS a cord with a green end plugged into my monitor, and the other end is a usb plug plugged into a usb port on the back of the computer.. Wow.. I certainly am not making a lot of sense here..
At this point the only speakers working are the ones in the monitor.. And they are NOT at all loud enough for an old foggie like me!

Why don't you buy an cheap new pair, some cheap ones would still be loud like this one- http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-S220-Speaker-System-Subw...
Do you know the model of the speakers, should say somewhere on the back or at the bottom somewhere.

This site is for helping people who have problems with tech or don't know much about tech.
I don't mind how 'dumb' you be about something just as long as it gets solved.
I think you need to power your speakers if there is a empty hole with a pin sticking out, thats probably why they are not working, near that hole there should be ratings (e.g. 5v 1A), could you type them or type the model of the speakers?

You could either look for your power supply.
Or buy this- http://www.amazon.co.uk/Lansing-ADA215-Speakers-replace...
Or call the guy who installed your PC and ask if he put it anywhere.
