play music through other audio jack??

[randy]

I have a powerspec computer on winxp. THere is no sound card--it is
integrated into the motherboard. I have 2 red audio output jacks on
the back of my computer. I have been using one of them to play music
on my speakers. But I would like to use the other audio jack to play
audio through a second set of speakers which would also be plugged in
at the same time as the first set. Anyone know how to do this?

If there are truly two speaker output pairs, then plugging speakers into
each should work. If not, visit Radio Shack or the like for an
inexpensive switch, adapter or splitter that will accomplish what you want.

Download the Bel Arc Advisor www.belarc.com and it will tell
you the actual motherboard makers name and the model of your
motherboard. You can then download a real motherboard
manual with details on the ports and other details on your
computer that the OEM didn't bother to tell you.

Be advised that OEMs often make physical changes to
commercial motherboards, often to limit your ability to
over-clock or set jumpers (by removing the pins).
