Subwoofer won't work plugged into Acer laptop

Just got an Acer aspire 4en5 laptop; first, the external speaker plug didn't want to stay in the green jack hole. got that fixed, now sound only comes out of the 2 small speakers, but not the subwoofer! also, got volume turned up everywhere and it's not too the loud, but I'd REALLY like to get the subwoofer to play. I disconnected the speakers and took them back to Radio Shack, the problem is not with the speakers. When I go into the software on the computer, the option for 'surround' speakers is there, but greyed out and I can't choose it. Help, please!!

Speakers external

Look on the side of the laptop for the headset port. Plug your external speakers in there. Then you will have full control of volume and such through the OS system control.

Have windows 7 on my new acer aspire 5517; trying to get external speakers (2 different kinds) to work. my generic usb speakers install and it shows they're working properly, but errors when trying to play...

what happens when you plug the speakers in the green port? You might want to try the other audio ports because on a few new computers i have seen the speakers have to be plugged in a different hole. also make sure the speakers are plugged up to the electric plug.

Microphone connect have acer aspire travelmate

It appears that your Acer has 3 ports in the front center bottomportion of the laptop. One of them should be for plugging in an external microphone, one should be for external speakers, and one should be an input jack.http://complap.com/yahoo_site_admin/assets/images/acer-travelmate-2420-2.192120139_std.jpg
