Computer speakers don't work

depending on the auxiliary speakers you have, there needs to be a power source (either batteries, a power supply, or an ac cord); and the power needs to be turned on. Symptom sounds like you don't have the external power connected or turned on.

An external equalizer will not help this at all. The problem is likely within the amp (feeding the main speakers), the connections from the board to the amp, or the speakers themselves. In other words, the answer would be "NO." Best of luck!

If the set has a connection for external speakers they have be the same impedance (ohms) and the set will likely have to be switched from internal to external.

It might be a cause of Loose connection or damage of your laptop speakers. Its a hardware problem. Check your Connectivity of Speakers on the motherboard. It might work!

You may find some on the Internet (use Google) or on EBay.

Um, didn't get all the jacks meaning that you don't have the yellow, green, and black cables that run from your speakers to your computer, or the jacks on the speakers themselves? You can go to Logitech's website and find the cable I'm sure, about how much it will cost, can't exactly say but possibly not cheap.. other solution is to go to walmart, kmart, radio shack, anywhere they sell electronics, and get yourself three audio cables with 1/8 in jacks on both ends... then just match colors and connect!

Not uncommon with HP laptops. Usual faults are network cards that suddenly die, graphics chips that unsolder themselves and (less common) the sound chip blowing.

I'm assuming you already checked if the sound has not been muted first?
You have up to date sound drivers

Test by connecting external speakers, if they work (and you have the sound unmuted), it is the internal speakers in the laptop that are at fault and will need investigation. If the externals do not work, then the sound chip is blown.

Apart from replacing the motherboard, you have the option of getting an external USB soundcard and running that to speakers. A bit clumsy, but you will get much better sound quality

Sounds like the speakers are cracked (no pun intended) - damaged cones. Connect external speakers or connect a headphone to the headphone jack to see if you get the same sound. If not, then the speakers themselves are damaged.

If your external speakers are working and your internal ones are not then it's either a loose connection with the internal speakers or the speakers themselves are not working anymore.

I would try the following; check for viruses, spyware, and malware. Reboot the system afterwards. Reinstall the sound drivers and make sure the soundcard is enabled. If all this fails then you have three options.

1. Order a set of speakers for your system and install them yourself.

2. Have a tech or pc repair shop replace them for you.

3. Continue to use external speakers.

Good Luck!

Look into your monitor settings and computer settings and see if you can reverse the "input" and "output". If both are set to line in or line out then they pretty much cancell themselves out.
