Hooking up speakers

cyndy397 · 10-25-2006, 11:13 PM

I thought this would be so easy-- my aunt asked if she could have my speakers from my old computer when I got my new one because she doesn't have speakers. But when I plugged them into her speaker jack, the volume is so low, it's hard for a person with GOOD hearing to hear anything. I opened the control panel to access the audio controls and have them all at max and that's the best I can do. If there's not a simple fix here, she'll just have to be content with what she has because my knowledge of computers is rudimentary at best. I was hoping there might be some suggestions to help us out. Thanks!

Thanks, Dave. I'll have to get back to you on that. I go out to visit her every week and will follow up on that next week.
