[lug] Speakers

[Gary Hodges]

Are low price PC speakers all the same functionality-wise?  I got sound
going on my Linux PC today, and then went down the hall to grab a set of
unused Boston Acoustic speakers we got with a recent Gateway PC purchase. 
The Labtec speakers I have generate an annoying hum.  Well, the Boston's
don't work, and the Labtec's do.  I verified the Boston's worked on one of
the Gateway PC's they came with.  I have a SoundBlaster16 card, and the
manual just says to install speakers.
