Depending on how your desk is set up, you may have the ability to hide some of these cables, but it seems impossible to tuck them all away.

Therefore, you should download and install the latest Windows updates to check if this helps you fix the issue. The speakers feature dual far-field drivers set at a 45° angle and is accompanied by a down-firing subwoofer for crystal clear clarity and louder, thumping bass.
