Glitch

I reciently recieved a Promedia 4.1 speaker set. I hooked up everything but luck never seems to come to me. No sound is played out of the speakers and possibly a problem with the speaker activation button. I believe to have a 4 channel sound card from the sentance "Two line-level analog outputs via stereo jacks on rear bracket, Front and Rear Line-Outs" that is under the soundcard specifications on my system. The other possible problem is that when pluged in to the wall outlet the LED glows red. When the speaker activation button is pushed the LED glows green and when the button is released the button comes back out again and the LED glows red again. Something tells me that this is not suppose to happen. First, is the speaker activation button suppose to say inwards, Second, since the LED glows red again is this a sign that something is wrong with the soundcard or connection, and Third, what is wrong? Help please.
