If you load a few sound modules and plug in cheap headphones you too can 
get sound out of your computer.  I did it with the i810 video/sound chip 
with timidity (midi files, download fast) and mplayer, but that chip 
produces the wrong frequency for most of the other sound programs.

Me too but there is nothing on the radio that I want to listen to half the 
time, and what there is comes in so weak it sounds really bad from the two 
stations that play mostly classical.

It sounds much better than a weak broadcast.  No static.
