- I have in the past had sound problems with MY LC which I solved by bypassing
- the internal speaker altogether. I have a cable (bought at Radio Shack) hooked
- up to the sound port in back and run my sounds out of my stereo (I also have a
- cheap switching box so I can still listen to music or the VCR while running the
- LC). This is probably a good solution if you're using your computer for music
- applications ANYWAY! Hope this helps-Mark S.
