How would I hook up these surround sound speakers up to my dell laptop. I am not getting any sound at all.
Hello there!! jlee432
The 4.1 speakers you has, and output sound , depend on the sound card you has on your laptop. If you has inside the laptop a sound card 5.1 you whould not have problems get it sound, BUT you have to set on multimedia and sound for 4.1 according.
you only have one output sound on your laptop, so you have to use 2 speakers or buy a splitter and get 2 speakers sound.
you also, can buy a pcmcia sound card, 5.1 from creative labs, to solve this. but check if your speakers of course sound of.
good luck

Connect speaker to pc but no sound comes .
I tried going to control panel and they asked for installation disk which I don't have !
My Altec Lansing 54 speaker system has been in storage awhile. Now
I cant find hook up instructions. May be missing the cord that connects
into the pc.
what does it look like and where can I find one?

hey
purchased a connector from radio shack, thought that would fix problem but guess I am connecting wrong - nothing works, Know I have it in correct plug in on laptop, checked "sound" in control panel, all looks good.
