You're right about the sound cards. I had forgotten about the jumpers and
was just shooting from the hip last night, so didn't take the time to crack
the cases on the machines or dig up the old documentation. Now that you
mention it, I think the two SB cards are not identical - one is jumpered
and the other is PnP with software configuration.
I'm not the one with the extra-low sound level; that was the guy who
started the thread. I was responding to Marten's observation about all PCs
needing amplified speakers. As a matter of fact, I suggested cleaning the
audio out contacts to the original poster, although I did not provide the
detail you did.
So, thanks for your offer of help on tracking my sound cards and for the
detailed directions on cleaning contacts. It's this kind of mutual support
that makes these LEM lists so useful.

No matter how paranoid you are, it isn't paranoid enough.
