This system takes a 3.5mm headphone jack.... just connect headphone out (Green socket) of laptop to speakers

Hello there,

When you plugged it into your laptop, turned it on and increase the volume, do you hear only a humming sound from the speakers? Try to plug the speaker to an mp3 player as well to test if it still doesnt give out any sound. If it still doesnt, then your speaker must have a wiring connection problem inside that needs resoldering. Here I supposed that your laptop's internal speakers is working and is able to work with other audio devices like a headset or an earphone.

at the back of the laptop you will the where you can put the speaker

Hi

Do your sounds work without the speakers connected to the laptop?

So the first suspicion is have you connected the speakers together correctly.

Did the speakers work on another machine?

Do I suspect correctly that the two speakers /satellites are connected to the sub woofer and the sub is connected to your pc with one plug.

That should be as simple as that, just make sure its turned on and volume aswell.

now does the laptop react to the speakers in anyway?

If the speaker you want to connect is from other devices(not a computer speaker )then you need an amplifier .Connect the speaker to the amp. then connect the laptop(output) to amplifier (input)the cable you need is "dual RCA male to 3.5mm male audio" .here is the link to view the cable that you need.

Hi,
This has also been sending me around the bend. I resolved it by disabling the speakers on my laptop. To do this go into control panel, then hardware and sound, then change system sound. Select your speakers and disable them. This allowed me to play music through the speakers. You can also re-enable the laptop speakers after this.

Hi there

On acer laptop you have already speakers. but you want to connect external speakers then please find
that three conector in your laptop and connect you external speakers on one of them. please try each connector and you are able to connect external speaker.

Thanks
Robert

Go 4 setting of audio device in ur laptop.

n check is there 4.1 speaker system is available r not.
Then u can fix ur 4.1 creative to ur laptop.

The laptop should have a speaker output the same size as that plug. This is the size of most small computer speaker systems.
