If "speakers on USB 2.0 card, all else on 1.x builtins" doesn't work, you might want to try a power adapter that has a USB host connector. (I've seen such at Fry's, intended for devices like iPods that were designed to recharge their internal batteries from a USB port.) This would effectively convert your current set to wall-powered, which might be less costly than a new set. WRT the suggestion to hack something together, I wouldn't suggest attempting it unless you're quite sure of what would be involved. It wouldn't be exactly difficult, but getting something backwards -- or connecting to the +12 instead of the +5 supply -- would at least let all the magic blue smoke out of the speakers :) _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
