I thought I'd share this for those that are looking for basic speakers or a better alternative to laptop speakers.
Came across these on Amazon, as my 2.1 set started to magnify input sounds from the 3.5mm jack and was humming quite loudly. It was about 12 years old, so no surprise there and it wasn't anything high end to begin with.
These are only $16.99 on Amazon and are actually quite good, considering the price, their size and the fact that they are USB powered.
I listen to podcasts or youtube where someone is talking or explaining something and for this purpose, these little speakers are great. The voices are clear and crisp.
Also, I don't have a lot of room on my desk and these fit the bill quite nicely. One area to watch out for is that the cables aren't too long and if you have a big desk, they may be too short.
