Sound from rear jack comes out as stereo but needs to be louder, even

Windows Media Player is onboard; maybe it would be better. But how
in XP
do I make the change?

Buy self-powered speakers. This should work even if the sound card is
amplified.. few are nowadays.

By 'self-powered speakers' I assume you mean speakers powered by an
amplifier with AC-line power. I have them, but I wanted to use the
speakers which are passive, and built into the new LCD monitor.

Are you sure they are not powered?
Easy to find out when you touch the input plug, only powered speakers
will pick up noise.

Right on all counts. Passive speakers.
