There is an opening in the back of the CPU into which the male plug at one end of the speakers goes (it's an "out" line). Then there's a female plug on the speakers that connected to the monitor, and it's that female plug that I have nowhere to use. Without it, the speakers are mute. I'm sorry I can't explain it any better than that. It's like I have to complete a circuit to get sound, and there's not anyplace else to complete the circuit to.
