Try different jacks. Maybe you plugged the speakers into the wrong
jack.

If the speakers are powered, are they actually powered up? If they have
a separate volume control, is it turned all the way down (to off) or is
it somewhere in its middle adjustment?

Have you tried plugging the speakers into a headphone jack of a portable
CD player, radio, or your home stereo's headphone jack to see if they
work? Have you tried plugging in a pair of headphones into the jack
instead of the speakers to see if you hear noise (and assuming you've
already tested the headphones on a stereo or CD player to ensure the
headphones work, too)?
