Hey, im currently using "altec lansing" speakers. I couple of weeks ago I moved from Canada to Jordan,Amman. (asia)
I bought a converter to plug my speakers into the outlet, but it doesnt seem to be working. The speakers just wont turn on.

Yes... hopefully the "converter" is actually a voltage transformer inside.. and not just a plug converter, or the speakers may have been burned out by the higher voltage.

All electrical appliances that come from the US/Canada will need a voltage converter, not just an adapter to make the plug fit into the wall socket.
Your computer might work without a special voltage converter because the power supply in the computer can work both ways, but almost everything else will need some kind of special voltage converter.
