Sound from rear jack comes out as stereo but needs to be louder, even
with all settings at maximum. Appears to be driven by Realtek HD Audio. Windows Media Player is onboard; maybe it would be better. But how in XP do I make the change?

This should work even if the sound card is amplified.. few are nowadays. -- Joe =o)

So yes, you're probably looking at new speakers.

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.

It does depend on the sound card installed to whether the output signal is
pre-amplified or not. But to make sure that you definitely DO need to buy a pair of amplified speakers - test the output by starting the volume control (sndvol32.exe) setting the "Master volume" and the "Wave OUT" volume both to maximum. The open the small Sound Recorder app (sndrec32.exe) and click on File Open from the top menus and search for and play any WAVe file in C:\WINDOWS\MEDIA Testing in this way obviates any false results that may occur from any intermediate sound-level controls i.e. Window's Media Player has it's own independent volume control, and although you may set all the Window's sound levels to maximum - if WMPlayer's own level is low then that will scupper your test! == Cheers, Tim Meddick, Peckham, London. :-) "William Lurie" wrote in message ...

Thanks, I tried that. That site is such a horror, I gave up waiting for
it. Maybe I'll try it again. Hot-Text wrote: Go to Windows Update And get your Realtek HD Audio Updates there! it may help! "William Lurie" wrote in message ...

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