well ermm... check your volume control? start, all programs, acceseries, entertainment, volume control or whatever. make sure it's not on mute and the volume isn't all the way down. if that doesn't work try another speaker system, headphones or something, if that doesn't work make sure your sound card is plugged in and enabled on bios... and finally if that doesn't work, toss it out and get a new one

Check the speaker wire. Make sure there are no bad wires. Make sure you have the latest soundcard drivers. Make sure your card is configured properly, check to see if it's working properly in the device manager. Play test music. Make sure you speakers are plugged into the wall, each other, etc. If all connections are made, everything is up to date, everything is configured properly, and you still get no noise, music, etc, then bring your speakers back.

I think it's probably loose wire, I had a problem with my old speakers and that was the problem.

Yes, very likely you just blew your speakers. You shorten the life of your speakers a great deal if you play loud music. But not limited to loud music. Hope this helps.
