Speaker problem
A friend has an HP desktop system that had a pair of cheap speakers that
stopped working. I checked all of the settings and could find nothing wrong. She had a headphone set so I plugged that into the same receptacle and the headphones worked fine. I suggested she buy another cheap set of speakers. She was not concerned with quality of her onboard sound. She now says the new speakers she bought do not work. I have not yet looked at the new speakers or at the way she hooked them up. Why would headphones work, but not speakers plugged into the same receptacle? |

Speaker problem
She told me the speakers worked before. They were not powered. I will ask
her if she is absolutely sure about that. Thank you for your reply. I have a feeling you are correct. Bill "meerkat" wrote in message ... "William J. Lunsford" wrote in message et...

I suspect you are correct. She told me the speakers worked before, but I
will question her again. Thank you for your reply. Bill "Frank McCoy" wrote in message ... In alt.comp.hardware.pc-homebuilt "William J.
