I got a new computer the other day. It has the usual monitor, CPU, keyboard…you know, computer stuff. It also came with some very nice speakers and a subwoofer. A subwoofer? For a computer. The things they come up with these days.

So anway, I was hooking up the speakers today and I couldn’t get them to work. The cord had a green end on it so I plugged it in to the green spot in the back of my computer. I plugged the other end in to the subwoofer. And I plugged the whole thing in to the wall. But it just wouldn’t work.

I could hear it. Faintly. But even turning up the volume full blast didn’t make a difference.

I knew the speakers worked because Lee had them hooked up to his computer last night and they sounded great.

I finally got so frustrated I called Lee at softball. He had me look at a few things on my computer. Everything looked fine.

He had me walk him through how I hooked it up the computer. It sounded like I did it right.

Then he goes, “You don’t have your headphones plugged in do you?”

“Umm…no. Ok, well I gotta go.”

So needless to say, my speakers work just fine. Oh, and my headphones work too.
