Polk computer speakers work in laptop but not on desktop computer
In my laptop, the Polk speakers work fine, but when I plug it into my desktop, they do not work. However, my headphones work fine. Any ideas why?

Desktops now a days have more than one plug for the speakers. try playing some music and play which hole works.
if there is a 5.1 or surround on the desktop then most likely the light green jack isnt stereo out but rather unamplified signal. thus when you plug head phones into it the internal amp drives the headphones, but wants the computer to drive the speakers.
try plugging it into the black one... or play pick a hole till it works.
