I have put a speaker on my computer, but there's no audio/sound coming, what could be the problem?

Answer 1

Be sure your sound card is enabled. Also, be sure the speaker is turned on. If it requires power, be sure it is plugged in or has batteries. Likewise, be sure that you have plugged the speakers into the proper outlet - the mic and line out jacks look pretty much identical to the speaker jack. If none of those work, then it's possible you simply got a bad set of speakers, so take them back and get another pair.

Answer 2

Make sure you are connected into the right sound output port (usually the green one).
Try plugging in a pair of headphones in the same jack to see if the speakers have an issue.
If neither work, perhaps your sound driver software is not installed. Right click on My Computer, and choose properties, the hardware tab, then device manager button. The sound card should show up in the list with a red x or yellow exclamation point. Right click the device and choose install. Allow the software to look on Windows Update for the driver too.
If the driver still cannot be found, you'll need to find the model number of the device and look for it manually. I'd go to the website for your computer, plug in the computer model number and search for drivers for that computer. They should have drivers you can download and install. At worst, do a search for "specs" for that computer. That will tell you what the model number of the sound hardware is. Then google that model number + device driver download.
