Before plugging this in, find out if your sound card can support multiple speakers.
Step 5: In some speaker set-ups, there’s an additional ‘subwoofer’, a larger third speaker that provides bass sounds. But don’t continue pushing if you meet any resistance – the socket is attached to the sound card on the computer’s mother board, and if you push too hard, you could damage it. Push the jack into this socket firmly to get a good connection. It may also be marked with a headphones symbol or be labelled ‘Audio out’. The one to plug your speakers into is usually green. Step 4: On the back of the computer tower are a number of small, round, coloured-coded sockets.
You’ll use this plug to attach them to your computer tower. Step 3: Locate the 3.5mm jack connected to the cable at the back of the speakers. Step 2: Plug the speakers into the power socket. Step 1: Ensure that the computer is turned off.
So, if you want to hear sounds from your computer, you’ll probably need to have speakers plugged in. While a laptop will usually have built-in speakers, most desktop computers don’t.
