Hey all,

Thanks for the responses -- they were very clear -- and
confirmed by thoughts.... I don't have the exact model, but it's a
high-end Compaq that was bought about a year ago....


Ya know -- if i remember correctly. I believe I saw a sticker next to
the "speaker out" port on the soundcard that said "note: powered
speakers must be used." Plus, like i said, it was a line out icon, not
any kind of speaker designation. Now, to me, that would mean that
that port was NOT powered, like you guy's said.... And the speakers
that came with the computer are a powered subwoofer 3 piece set -- so i
would definitly say that it's a simple line out like you guys said.....


Thanks again!!!!!


Matt
