I've recently aquired speakers specifically for dell computers, and whenever I plug them in the computer doesn't recognize them. I've tried adding new hardware, etc.. yet nothing will work.


Is there anything I've not tried, or something I can try to fix this problem? I've not had problems like this before on this computer.

I'm not doubting you but I just can't see what they can do to make speakers proprietary other than an oddball jack
When you plug in a set of headphones, do they work?
Have you run the Dell Diagnostics for the speakers?
