Dave, if it is like my laptop, a Del Latitude, the headphone output should be set to speaker out for the best sound quality. Not overly impressed with the computer speakers themselves. Mine only has one plug that serves as both headphone input, and line In, when you set it for that. I don't like that either. If you're planning to do some work with audio files, or recording into the computer, I would recommend an external sound card. This way you would be able to monitor the input better. That's just my opinion.
