I used it on sat night and it was ok. Now nothing. No, the mute is not on. I tried with headphones plugged in directly to tyhe box so it's not a sound card problem. I simply can't get anything.

Well this looked like a good enough thread to tap into with my problems. I am not a computer tech guy, but my sound is generally real quiet so I thought I would buy an external speaker that I can turn up louder. I also need this external speaker to be easily transportable (fit in my laptop case). Any suggestions?
And yes, I have considered a hearing aid.

Sound to me (laugh!) that your sound card is out! Go buy a cheap sound card at electronics store and replace it and it should work! Cost is around $30!

Laptop sound is always mediocre at best due to the teeny tiny speakers. Personally, I'd buy a pair of headphones instead of speakers. In general, you're going to get better sound quality from headphones than you will paying the same amount for speakers. Plus they allow you to listen in private, which can be a plus.
The only issue is whether or not your laptop's headphone output will drive "good" headphones as loud as you would like to hear them. That, and what you are willing to spend to get the level and quality of sound that you desire.
I'd consider a good over the ear headphone (not on the ear, *over* the ear), from someone like Sennheisser, AKG, or other quality headphone companies.

Thanks Dr. P, I have zero interest in headphones though. I do get frustrated when I watch a U Tube Video and the sound sucks. I tried to watch a DVD on my laptop and the sound was way too quiet, I have one game where the sound is so loud it's crazy.
