Have you connected the lead from the speakers to the correct socket usually colour coded lime green, on the PC?

macman

And have you conected the speaker power lead to the wall socket?

Do you get a humming noise if you turn the speakers on and the vol knob right up? That would indicate that the speakers are mechanically OK

You don't have the sound control muted, or the volume set to zero, do you?
Also, is sound set to go to the correct output device?

Touching your finger to the tip of the jack plug should make the hum louder.

or plug the speaker lead into another device - radio / mp3 / etc - just to prove that bit. - then you can concentrate on the PC

Even though windows says all is okay it can lie; go to device manager and uninstall audio driver then reboot. The wizard will reinstall.
