You didn't give us much information, so I'll go over some things which may appear basic, but I can't see your computer from here.
1) Are the speakers plugged into the Green jack on the rear of the computer? Did you also try the one on the front?
2) do the speakers have their own power plug? your computer requires powered speakers, according to the manual.
3) are you running Windows 7, Vista, XP?
4) when you look in Control Panel, Hardware and Sound, Sound, Change System Sounds, Playback are your speakers represented correctly?
5) are you outputing audio from any other jack, like the HDMI port?
6) you don't have the headphones plugged in while trying to use the speakers, right? (remember, we can't see it)

I have a Dell xps210 and my driver info is: 6/21/2006, 6.0.6000.16386, and it says they are the most updated drivers available. I bought an external usb sound drive and it didn't change anything.

When I test the drivers in the control panel / sound they sound audible with headphones on, but other than that no sound come on past about 1% of the whole volume when you open the sound menu on the task bar of your computer. I am at wit's end please help me.
