It would help if you described what you have done and what the speakers are.

Do they plug into the 3.5mm headphone type connector on your PC? Do they need batteries or plug into the mains?

Sorry Neil ,they are Labtec, they plug in the mains and they plug in the green socket at back of pc, I have just used Windows troubleshooter and its not done anything. i have out my old speakers back on and they are working still but nowt from the new ones....

Panic over, its sorted now !

Re: speaker hell
 

It helps when you find the volume button? ;)

Glad ya got it sorted Lindsay. Its a pain in the arse when ya know nowt about it.

Re: speaker hell
 

My guess is you didn't turn on the mains switch :D

Re: speaker hell
 

ummm I had the power on and volume up but think it's a dodgy connection, when I picked the speaker up to give it a shake the damn thing kicked into life and scared me to death !:o
