This is kinda embarassing.

Ok so i just picked up this M-AUDIO - Studiophile AV 40 - Desktop Speaker System

And i have a feeling its defective except i dont have all the wires plugged

1) It comes with a wire that has a red and white head and a black tail. I plugged the red and white to the back of the left speaker and i plugged the black to the front panel of my desktop. Nothing worked. I then plugged it to the back panel of my desktop and nothing still worked.

2) I then used the other wires that came along for the Audio-In and plugged that to the headphones-In and that worked when plugged to both that back and front panel which is very wierd since thats meant to be for the headphones. Also for this to even work, i had to put the wire halfway into the headphone port for it to work.

OK get a mini-RCA cable (headphone jack one end, red white stereo on the other), heaphone jack goes into audio out on computer (may have heaphone pic beside it), then the red white into your left speaker. Then string the speaker wire from one speaker to the other.
