Thanks for the ideas. I have a stereo cable, but slipping it half way in does not seem to help. Maybe if I try that with a mono cable it might get me some mileage, but actually Kirk's suggestion sounds like the safest path. I don't want to use the mike input since I need it for other things and it would mean cable switching a lot. There is actually an advantage to having a low quality speaker on a synthesized voice. Putting synthesizer output into a quality amplifier and speaker system reveals all the warts and warbles and hisses and squeaks, most of which do not survive a low quality built in speaker. But the convenience of having a single sound source to put into a headphone, or having a single volume control for everything, seems attractive to me. -- The Moon is Waxing Gibbous (95% of Full) So visit me sometime at http://www.mhonline.net/~chuckh
