USB speakers

[Shlomo Solomon]

I don't really know if this is a Linux problem, so I apologize if this turns 
out to be OT.

I bought a pair of cheap USB speakers  - "Muller M128 USB multimedia 
speakers". There are 2 wires - 1 with a USB connection and 1 with a "regular" 
3.5mm plug. When I plug in the USB connector, the speakers get power, but I 
see nothing in the logs (tail -f /var/log/messages) and get no sound. When I 
also connect the 3.5mm to my sound card, the speakers work.

Is it possible that the USB plug is only for power, or do I have a Linux 
problem (missing driver or something)?
