Hi All,

In a nutshell, my problem is that I have some external speakers plugged 
into my netbook, but I only hear sound coming out of one speaker. Most 
of the time, I don't mind, but sometimes this makes it difficult to hear 
something comfortably. For example, I found a podcast on remapping an 
external keyboard for the Mac. Because of the way the sound file has 
been recorded, I hear the Voiceover parts of the podcast loud and clear, 
but the human explanation is very soft, so I have to keep turning the 
volume up and down as I listen.

I don't know the brandname or model number of the speakers. There are 
two. The first connects to the second, and the second connects to a 
large box, which has the cable that plugs into the computer and the cord 
that plugs into the electrical outlet. I'm not finding buttons or 
switches except for a volume knob on one of the speakers and two knobs 
(one for treble, the other for base) on the box. Everything appears to 
be plugged in snugly.

According to the Speaker settings on the netbook, I am configured for 
stereo. When I run the test, I hear two sets of tones. My guess is that 
one is supposed to come out of the first speaker; and the other, from 
the second. What I hear is that one set of tones is loud and the other 
is soft, both coming out of the same speaker.

Any ideas or suggestions about what I can do to get sound out of both?

ciao
