A lot of sound cards have an input that you can tie the MB speaker output to, so that it comes through the sound card. But I think the OP is talking about a single speaker that gets the output of the sound card if you do not have anything plugged into the speaker jack. I have a couple of Compaq systems that have a setup like that. As long as I do not have anything plugged into the speaker jack in the back, or the headphone jack in the front, the built-in speaker gets the output of the sound card. If I have something plugged in, then that is used instead. Mikkel -- Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for thou art crunchy and taste good with Ketchup!
