For sound cards: Check the back of the computer. If you have some headphone-looking ports in a rectangular shaped metal cutout back there (and there are more than one) put the speakers in the green port. For Computers without sound cards: If you don't have one, look for the mouse and keyboard ports. Close to those, there should be around 3 headphone-looking ports, put it in the green one. Also, it would greatly help if you included the computer model number.

They should plug in on the back. The socket is often green for the main speakers. If that doesn't work, try a socket on the front.

If there are no sockets, then you would need to install a sound card.

If you get no sound, then check your connections, make sure your amplifier is getting power (unless you are using lightweight headphones and have them plugged directly into the computer), and check your sound drivers. If you just installed your OS, then you may need to go to the sound hardware manufacturer's site or the motherboard manufacturer's site and download the drivers. Or you might have a driver CD you need to install. You should also make sure you didn't disable the sound hardware in the control panel or in the Windows volume control options.

Depending on the speakers, either a USB port or the audio-out jack, which I believe is usually green.
