I just got my new system, a new gaming desktop, plugged almost everything in, but when it came to inserting the plug for my speakers, it doesn't go in all the way despite pushing hard. The speakers hum because they're not grounded. I don't want to push too hard because the audio comes from the motherboard and I'm worried about damaging it. Why is this happening? I've never had a problem like this before. I've tried contacting the manufacturer, but I'm on hold for a few minutes before their system hangs up on me and it's done several times!

Update your post with detailed information about the system hardware specifications and operating system details.
Speaker type and model? Begin by examining the audio connectors and ports.
For reference, see this guide: https://www.cablechick.com.au/blog/under...dio-jacks/
The content discusses TS, TRS, and TRRS compatibility issues rather than physical mismatches.
A careful inspection of the plugs and ports might offer useful insights.

I left out the extra details since the input is a typical audio socket, something I've encountered on many devices, and the jack matches all standard mini audio connections.

This topic is quite intriguing. Not every port or even a 3.5 mini plug works perfectly, despite all being similar.
I handle this problem because I work with many adapters from previous projects.
Some ports require adjustments; depending on the PC, I might connect an old adapter to the PC and then the speakers or headphones to the adapter.
These adapters have been around for years and seem to correct the issues and fix the oddities.
Occasionally, I also need to insert the 3.5 mini plug a bit more forcefully than usual.
I often experience a drop from humming to just audio, with gunfire and game sounds disappearing completely.
It might be the port itself, but these are some of the solutions I rely on daily.
