Hi Audrey.

I went into PC World in Glasgow yesterday and replaced my Logitech speakers 
for Creative 5.1 speakers.  The sub had three minijacks that fitted into the 
back of the Soundblaster and all is working well.  Not a bad sound 
considering the speakers cost £45 and the External SoundBlaster cost £49. 
It's like a wee hi-fi in my study.  Nice also to be able to access all of my 
music, which is on my computer, without having to bother with CD cases and 
trying to identify a particular album..  My next task, and I'll leave this 
for a few days, is accessing the Optical line-in/out facility.  If I can get 
this to work, then I will be able to record audio described  movies from my 
DVD Player/Recorder to my computer.  God, a few years ago, we could not even 
play cd's on our computers, now we are able to do all this.  Magic isn't it? 
Thanks very much for all of your help in setting up this system, and thank 
goodness for lists such as this, for I'd never have been able to do this on 
my own.
Thanks again .

Best wishes.
.

Andy
