If they worked before you unplugged everything, then there are a few
possibilities:

1. The speaker connectors are not plugged snugly into the speakers
themselves and/or the computer's sound card.

2. You have plugged the speakers into the wrong connector on the computer.

3. You were rough when you unplugged everything and you broke something.

The answer is probably #2. Since you didn't say anything about your
computer, it's not possible to be more specific. In general, the connector
on the computer in which you plug the speakers is colored green. Also, if
you have a separate PCI sound card in the computer along with sound on the
motherboard, make sure you have plugged the speakers into the correct sound
card.
