The main issue is getting sound from a computer, and usually this means a sound card. But what you could do is have one cable, but split the cable at the computer end to two plugs. USB for 5VDC power to drive the speakers and a standard 3mm male jack plug for the sound. At the speaker end you might be able to keep the single USB plug, because you might be able to share a common ground. Although the limiting current a USB can draw is 1Amp so the speakers wouldn't be all that powerful.
