(KDEVORY)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=1586.15">#15</a>] 21 Jul 2005</p> <p>The problem on my speakers isn't a volume issue per se. It is an age issue where they are so old, and have been used so much, that even on maximum volume, it is like listening to the whispering wind. They don't have volume knobs on them, you can only control the volume from your desktop, and it's on maximum. So new speakers are definitely on my list of things to get. I'll head to Office Depot or Office Max to see what I can find. I was right by Office Max yesterday darn it - with gas prices I like to combine these trips and it's on the other side of town.</p> <p>Thanks for the tips though.<br /> Cindy M</p><hr /><a name="a1586_18"></a><p><b>From: LaZerDude (C_BURKE)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=1586.18">#18</a>]<br /> 21 Jul 2005<br /><b>To: Cindy (CINDYM)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=1586.17">#17</a>] 22 Jul 2005</p> <p>Cindy,<br /> You could probably pick up a pair of decent speakers at a computer store near you. If you sound card is not the best you should probably get some "powered" speakers.<br /> What I am using are the speakers in my notebook ( dell inspiron 1150) they work just fine. No feed back and very clear sound.<br /> As David T mentioned, he and David L and myself had a great talk. The great thing is that now not only do I have to suffer abuse in print, these guys can CALL me and abuse me...
