The hub is not powered.  2 speakers may be drawing to much power.  If I plug more then 2 external non powered HDD into the hub the 3rd does not work.  
One way you can test this is if you have another mouse.  Try plugging them both into the hub along with speaker and all three should work.  That'll tell whether or not you're drawing to much power...hope this helps.  
One way to solve this problem would be to get a powered usb hub.
