The green speaker socket on the back of my computer has ceased working.The green socket on the front works however. Are the front and back green sockets from the same source? Do I need to get the back one repaired or can I use the front one without problem?\r\nThe computer is 3.5 years old and I have Logitech X-230 speakers.

green 3.5 mm socket on desktop computer either at back of pci sound card or from the back bottom of motherboard audio out.
Some desktops have a 3.5 mm stereo headphone socket at front bottom of desktop ,
USB is used to power the amplifier inside the speakers.
USB plug goes in a usb port usually at back of desktop computer or it might have usb ports at the front.

Plug green plug into green socket on back of computer or front of computer. Plug in power source on speaker.

I suspect you have not plugged them back into the correct socket. The plug is coloured green and therefore should go back into the green socket. you have probably plugged it back into the blue or pink sockets. Use a torch to check that is in the green one.

You need a cable with a 2.5mm jack plug at each end. This probably came with your speaker system. Connect one plug to the speaker system, th socket will be on one of the small speakers or at the back of the bigger base unit, then connect the other plug to the computer. The connection is usually at the back of the computer but you may also have a connection at the front. On the back of the computer you should see some sockets near each other that are colored pink and green, you plug the cable into the green socket (the same applies if you have sockets at the front of your desktop)
I hope this helps with your problem. Please get back to me if you need any more information.

there is 3 small circular sockets on the back of your pc they are coloured pink, light green and green or black plug your speakers into the light green one if that doesnt work try the other sockets one of them should work and dont forget to turn on the speakers usually the power button is on one of them...or if you dont have speakers try plugging the cable with the light green on both ends one end into the back of pc and the other end into the back of screen you might have to locate it where you see the connection cable on back of screen it might be hidden up under that part of screen ...good luck hope this helps

Look at the rear of the computer.
There will be different coloured jack plug sockets.
The speaker out is green and the mic. in is pink.
There may be other colours, these are for multi speaker (3.1 5.1 +) setups.
Your manual should give you a diagram

Back or front of the PC??

If rear ensure its plugged into the green socket.

Do speakers work out of this port??

Be sure to plug into the "green" socket on the front of the computer, not the "pink" (microphone) or "blue" (headphone output from iPod) socket.

Try the speakers in the "green" socket on the back of the computer, to ensure that the speakers work, and the volume control is "high", and that you have not "muted" your speakers.

Some motherboards have a small "jumper" to enable/disable the front audio-output sockets.

Try the speakers when connected to the headphone-output from your iPod, to confirm that they work -- they could be quite quiet.

The BA 735 Speakers I have are purely digital and will only work if your soundcard has a digital output, will not work through the normal analogue green socket .

Try plugging in earphones to see if the problem is the speakers or the output from your computer. Also, your computer output may be low power output for powered speakers and your speakers are not compatable. You may also be plugged in to the wrong output on your computer.
