Ditto
The soundcard on my pc is knackered. Silence or ipod + headphones for me.

This is my actual speakers
Well, I think it is. Sometimes when they switch on, the on light is dimmer than it should be and that is when they don't work. I don't know what is causing that other than borkedness :(

Have you checked the power supply?
My soundcard is buggered, no sound for about 3 weeks now. No money to replace it either.

Of course I haven't
I wouldn't know what to do.

As Mongy suggested it might be the transformer.
Easy to check with a multimeter, if you pop down to a hardware shop you might find someone who will do it for you if you ask nicely.

*stupid question alert*
Where is the transformer?
( Pickle Fairy is clumsily dancing away this fear, Mon 8 Jun 2009, 21:47, archived)

If you have a cable from the mains to the speakers
there will more than likely be a box somewhere on the cable about twice the size of a pack of cards. That is the transformer. It switches the voltage from 240v to somethiong like 12v.

Probably disguised as a remote control
