I tried hooking external speakers up to it, but they don't work either.  I
had some little airline earphones that worked for a short time, but those
quit, too.  I think there must be something basic interfering with the
sound.  I don't miss it except when I get all of these great links to
youtube videos and such.  I hope I don't have to send it back to Houston
again :-(
