The answer to a similar question as posted by you is mentioned here in the link http://www.askiyogi.com/hardware-peripherals-drivers/6773.html and given below:

(a) At the back of your system, there may be multiple ports for output sound, if you have a sound utility software installed, it will let you configure these ports, check what configuration this port has in which you have plugged the speaker. The default one has a green color.
(b) If you have any other audio output option like HDMI, Optical out etc, check if these are selected as default output in the player that you are using.
