Lately I've taken to streaming audio while working on my computer. I'm very impressed by the variety of commercial-free content that's available, much of which I could never pick up over the air. My only disappointment is the relatively poor sound quality produced by my pc-grade speakers. Is there any way I could send the speaker signal to my home audio system and listen with my full-size stereo speakers? -- B.V. Via Road Runner. Both PCs and Macs have "line out" jacks you can use to connect the audio output of the computer to any standard hi-fi component -- to a stereo receiver's AUX input jacks, for example, or to the receiver's TAPE IN jacks. (In fact, you could do as the doc does and treat your computer like a tape deck, connecting the LINE IN and LINE OUT jacks of the computer to the TAPE IN and TAPE OUT jacks of a receiver or amplifier.) twcny.rr.com edit...more dancentury.com

Today I was talking with a person who did this before with his computer and stereo system. He tells me to just plug the audio out of the card to a home amplifier. This worked for him. I would just be careful in the volume setting for the card to the amplifier. I remember that there are two inputs. One goes through a preamp. Use the input that does not go through the preamp. For good fidelity, do not push the upper limits of the audio output of the card. Bob Graham
