i didn't know that speakers needed drivers... most are plug 'n play. Actually I think all of them are, unless there's another piece of management/supportive hardware that is linked though the USB port or such.

the sound card would need the driver though, which you might have to find if you replaced it and/or formated your computer.

otherwise... look at the speakers itself, and see if there are any markings on them. Your best bet is finding out their model number and googling for it.

ya u are right, speakers do not have dirvers but if they have a USB sound card (ushely for full 3d sound) they may need one but then that is not the speaker it is the sound card.

Ushely u just put the speakers sound cord in the sound port thingy on the comp or the head phone one will work as well. If they are not working when u do that there could be somting wrong with them or your sound card. I know this sounds dum but did u check that all the voumle contorls are up (like that one in windows and on the speakers)? also check that your sound card is instaled right and that u have one.

Why don't you just do a google search of the company's name? If you aren't sure and you lost the box, it should at least be somewhere on the actual equipment.
