yes, they make several types of computer speakers
Yes -- Altec Lansing is a respected manufacturer of computer speakers.
Sound On, Audiodengine, logitech, and hp all make speakers that plug into a usb port.
Speakers are speakers, it's just whether you have an adapter to plug them into your computer or not ;)
Sound is processed in the sound card of the computer. It then sends signals to the speakers. The speakers vibrate and make the actual sounds that you hear.
Generally speakers are plug-and-play. If you have tried that and it didn't work go to your control panel to 'Sounds and Audio Devices' to 'Speaker settings' then 'Advanced' and change the scroll bar to 'Headphones'
Logitech makes a wide variety of computer speakers. They offer basic computer speakers starting at $14.99 to THX certified speaker systems priced at around $149.99. For more information, visit http://www.logitech.com
No, computer speakers are universal and will work with your computers current software and sound card.
Try some troubleshooting such as: 1) Make sure the speaker volume is turned up on the speakers if they have an audio knob on the speakers. 2) Make sure the speaker volume on the Task Bar is turned up and not muted. 3) If they are external speakers attached to the computer, make sure the power is on. 4) Make sure the cables connecting the speakers to the computer are attached. 5) Download the latest audio drivers from the maker of the speakers. 6) If you are playing a game, check in the game options to see that sound is enabled. That's all I can think of atm, good luck.
you can if you have a phone with a USB connection
only plug in the microphone plug into your computer while still plugging in the speakers.
That depends on whether or not your computer has speakers. If it does, then unplug your headphones, plug in the speakers, and make sure your volume is turned up. If you don't have speakers, then there is no way to do have sound without headphones other than to buy speakers. Most desktops have speakers built in to them, though.
