New speakers not working ?

bargainbird

Have tried all of the above inc put in motherboard disc to install audio driver, still nowt happening?

Also the leads that plug into the back of the screen for the speakers on the screen to work, do nothing either ?

This might sound daft but it happened to me on an old computer.
Open every media and audio player you have and make sure the volume is maxed out on all of them (windows media, quicktime, itunes, msn etc)

Right click the ACTUAL needed device driver, 'update driver software', then 'search automatically'
How do you know your son 'needs' it? Which laptop is it?

Kick me if this is obvious, but are they the sort of PC speakers that require a mains power source? If so you have to plug the speakers into the audio output socket and then usually there is a power lead from one speaker only to the wall socket. A third lead carrries the audio signal from the first speaker to the second.

Whats your operating system?

You should be able to download all needed drivers by filling in the relevant information ~
