Thanks

try and lower the bit rate in audio properties.

Try getting/buying an entirely different spkr system.

JBL is now jes Chinese junk, so no big loss. I think I got my current
pwrd spkrs (Sony Vaio) from a used computer shop, free, and I have
another system, complete w/ a sub-woofer, rotting in the shed. Ppl
are throwing them away. If you pay more than $15, even new, yer
getting screwed.

I think you're right. I actually have some small non-powered speakers
with a sub woofer and all of that. (made for a home entertainment
center). I think I'll look online for a small amplifier, and just use
those. At least those speakers are in real boxes that can be opened.

I paid $10 for these JBL ones about 5 years ago, at a garage sale. They
were nice while they lasted.

Ideally, I'd run the sound thru an actual stereo system with BIG
speakers. I used to do that, but I dont have the room for that in my
bedroom, which is where I have my computer now.

Even though these JBLs had decent sound, they were nothing like a REAL
Stereo.

You can usually tell if system is working by fumbling with connector in
hand. Should get hum touching tip or ring.
