Driving while drunk!!! And I'm not talking about someone that had a beer or two. But the jerks that can't even walk without falling and then get behind the wheel of a car. Kathy

Red Licorice, been hooked on it for a long time! Kathy

I'm so stupid! I even read the product info and details, and still thought it was a player, duh. Sorry to bother everyone, if I knew how to delete this post I would. Kathy

Just wanted to know if anyone has one these and how it works? Opinions would also be appreciated. Thanks! http://www.cyberguys.com/templates/s...search=&child= Kathy

I had the chance to hear these speakers at a friends house tonight and I fell in love with them. Not only do they look nice but they sound great! I'll be getting a set of my own real soon. Kathy

The only reason girls are evil is because we have to deal with you little devils! Kathy

WOW, that was a lot of help! I just love pictures! Yes, that looks like my MB soundcard layout. I have the RealTek player but I'm not sure if that's all the software or not. I'll play around with it tomorrow and see if I can get it to work. That would be great if it did. Thanks so much...

Thanks Usagi, I'll have to order one of those and see how it works. Appreciate the help! jiiteepee, I think it's called AC97 or something like that? It's an Asus A8N-SLI Prem MB if that helps? But I think there's only one line-out on it. I'm at work now, but I'll check it out when I get...

I use my computer as a source and run WinXP Pro. I have on board sound but I also use one those USB micro thingys from Turtle Beach, I have that connected to my Gilmore Lite and use my Sen650 headphones. It sounds great! What I need to know is there a way I can use my headphones and computer...

OK, thanks everyone! At least now I know I won't damage anything, so I'll play around with the settings and see what sounds the best for my setup. Thanks again! Kathy

I use my computer/soundcard as a source for my Glite and I have the Sen650 headphones. I'm never sure how I should set my computers volume control. Should I set the PC volume & Wave all the way up and control the volume with the Glite? I'm not sure if that would over drive the amp or not so I...

I was told these are good speakers: http://www.theaudioinsider.com/cgi-b...er/SWM200.html and I think you just plug them into your computer. ($179.00) But I've never heard them and I don't know much about this stuff. But maybe someone here can tell you if they think there ok? Kathy

sxr71 If your not already, you should be a teacher! After reading your post, everything that the others had already told me clicked. Well, almost everything. But I think I get how it works now and I appreciate not only yours , but everyones help! But I still have another question? Bet you...

Quote: Originally Posted by PFKMan23 Many if not most soundcards do contain a DAC (Digital to Analog converter) or else you wouldn't be able to just plug in headphones and use them. Thanks! So are the external DAC's just a better way to go? And can you then remove your soundcard...

Krause, what is the hold up? It's been dark here for 10 mimutes. Kathy

I'm using my computer as a source and I have a Gilmore lite amp hooked up via cables from my on-board sound. Now I know on-board sound is not the best, but it's all I have for now. This setup sounds pretty good to me and I can live with it for now. But what I'd like to know, not only for my...

Can anyone tell me how well this thing works? http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=HE-280B&cat=GDT Would there be any improvement using this over just plugging into the sound card itself? Thanks! Kathy

I don't use any but maybe I should because whenever I play a CD the music starts and then I get a blank spot. This happens on every CD I've tried. I hear just a couple of notes when the CD starts and then the blanks spot that only last for about a second or less. Is there a plugin that would...
