I need my tunes, man!

gridloreAnd I'm pissed off. My computer speakers died, and since the installed speakers on my Dell Inspirion 5490 AIO are tiny and tinny as hell, I needed to order some new ones. Found a great set on Amazon, a Cyber Acoustics CA-3610, and it showed up today.
It's not working. Because, after a little experimentation, it seems that the 3.5mm plug on my computer has given up the ghost. So now I'm debating returning this set for something with a USB connector, or seeing about getting that connector fixed or replaced.
Do any of my tech-savvy friends have any advice here? My computer is really my main source of listening to music.
EDIT: After some fiddling with settings, the speakers work, and they are awesome.

If you don't want to lose a USB port, you can get a USB hub with audio jacks:
