To download video to the computer you will need a fire wire cable. Some cameras will download via USB. The camera end of the firewire will be a 4 pin connector and you will need to check the computer. If its a large connector that would be 6 pin, if it is small like the camera, then 4 pin.
The speakers have two inputs for two different things, in my case I use the green input for my computer and the white one for my game consoles. You just need a 3.5mm minijack male to male cable to connect between the input on the speaker and the green jack on the computer.
On the front panel, the audio jack on the left side when looking at the front of the computer is the mic jack. On the back, look for the pink jack in the audio panel area. This is the mic. I included a picture of it below.
I guess you are referring to a Head phone and microphone set, with the cable splitting at the other end into two jacks. Most probably one a pink (or rose) colored one and the other green colored. Not necessary though, sometimes these two can be same color with indentation on the plastic surface to identify which one is Microphone and Headphone. If this is what the information you are looking for look on the back side of the computer. You will see three sockets in one column. If the computer is relatively new chances are that the surrounding area of these three jacks are also colored pink, green and blue. Match the pink jack to the pink (head phone) socket. Like wise green (ear phone) to green. Leave the blue one. If the computer is an old one, you may need a relatively close inspection.You may see a circle with an arrow going in to represent Mic and a circle with an arrow pointing outward to represent ear phone.
i would try checking the plug for your speakers to see if it is loose. If you move the plug is there any static that comes from the speakers?
If you have headphones maybe try plugging them in to see if you have sound through them. If you do have sound then i would say it is your speakers that are bad.
If you get no sound or scratchy sound through the headphones, then i would suspect either a loose jack connection for your audio or a dying audio chip.
you have to hook up the 1/4 headphone jack plug to the TV, from the computer. an Y audio cable with RCA plug (male) with headphone 1/4 male plug. hook the headphone jack to the green hole of the computer(sound out) to the audio input of the TV better yet to a stereo AUX port. also make sure the mute button hasnt been pressed.
maybe your dell dimension needs an audio driver. you can find drivers here by inputing the model or the service tag number. service tag found at the back of your PC.
