Tim, I bet you dollars to donuts that is the problem. If the earbuds
will work in a transistor radio, then that is a line-out jack for an
external amplifier and not a speaker-out. Pascal, get some cheapo
amplified external speakers and plug your earbuds into the jack on the
side. That'll work. It's what I do here. 

Pascal's better-half will beat him senseless if he disturbs her sleep.
