My computer doesn't detect my speakers, I do have windows 8
Do you have the AC adapter plugged into a live outlet and have you turned on the speakers? Make sure that the speaker signal cable is plugged into the correct port on your computer (the lime green port on a desktop). Check that the correct audio driver is installed for your computer. (With Windows 8, use the Device Manager to check. From the Start Screen, type in Device Manager. Click on Settings and then select Device Manager. Alternatively, Windows key+C on the desktop. Select Settings and then Control Panel. You can find the Device Manager under System and Security or Hardware and Sound.) Scroll down to the Audio devices. Expand the section and look for a red triangle with an X or a yellow triangle with an exclamation point. Try updating the driver (check with the manufacturer of your computer for the latest driver). Even if you don't see the error triangle, try reinstalling the latest driver. Next check if the speakers work on another computer. If they don't work, the audio cable may be damaged. Try a different set of computer speakers on your computer. If other known good speakers do not work and the correct audio drivers have been installed, check the audio output devices. Go to the Control Panel > Hardware and Sound page (as described above). Choose Manage Audio Devices. Check if the HDMI port is set as the default audio device. Disable it for a bit (right click on the device) . Sometimes when a new video card is installed, the audio device defaults to this port. This messes up the drivers for the regular audio.) Reboot the computer and then try reinstalling the audio driver. Reboot again. If it still fails, there is probably something wrong with the audio device hardware. If you are using an add-on sound card, try disabling it and using the motherboard audio device. (A number of add-on sound cards didn't work well with Win7 or Win8. The on-board audio drivers worked better.) If you are using the motherboard audio on a desktop, try an add-on sound card. (Check for Windows 8 compatibility (drivers) before selecting any card.) I hope this helps. Cindy Wells
How to connect speaker into
Speakers generally have a cord with a usb plug on the end for power and another cord with a male audio jack (it should be green) for receiving the sound from the computer. On your computer tower there should be terminals for both. These are located on the back, front, or both depending on computer model. Connect each wire to its respective terminal. If possible you should connect them from behind because it creates less of a mess around your desktop.

Just got speakers no sound
You need to install the drivers for the AUDIO device.... not your speakers. Go to control panel... Device Manager and look at the list of devices that is your computer. There should be a multimedia device that you'll need to update the driver for. You can do have it find the device automatically online. If the automated way doesn't work, you'll need to know exactly what sound card/device that you have.
