Hi Bill,Billtoo wrote:I use a usb sound card on my Compaq Presario desktop, it's a Sound
Blaster X-Fi Go! Pro .
I saw a usb powered speaker advertised and bought one of those, it
plugs into the headphone jack on the Sound Blaster X-Fi Go! Pro and the
usb connecter to a nearby usb port, there is also a microhone jack on the
Sound Blaster X-Fi Go Pro (that I don't need/use)
This setup works well with kodi and vlc, haven't found a way to use it
with nexuiz.
The speaker volume is good, and the sound quality is good enough for my
tin ear
I have it clamped to the side of the table that the monitor sits on.

In Fatdog-800 alpha I opened the control panel and made it the default sound card, then rebooted.
Can hear the guns blazing now.
Hey, you know we have the same Compaq computer, so I can I be a dimwit here?
I've always struggled with sound with it, but it sounds like you got it licked.
What exactly, in totality, do I need to get to make my setup like yours?
I look on Amazon and found the "Sound
Blaster X-Fi Go! Pro" for $19, what else (connectors, cables, and especially which 'Powered USB Speaker'?) do I need to get???
It'd be nice if this old Compaq could come alivejust a bit. Also, I am a country mile from being a stickler for sound quality. I just want to hear something, anything, lol.....and you sound (no pun intended) like you got it solved for out machine
Thanks for any help/hints/tips!
