Pc speakers question
So i have this old pc & cheap low noise hipoint speakers. Once the volume is turned up to half, it gets no louder than that so i assume the pc can push out descent sound if there's descent speakers attached.
Is it possible to use hifi speakers if i converted the connection to USB & is this possible?
Thanks

Your HiFi Speakers will not be function without an Amplifier. There is no amplifier built into your PC.
You can buy Amplifiers built specially for this task but it is very much cheaper to buy a Speaker Set that is designed to work with a PC.

It's not just that they won't function without an amplifier, as wee eddie says. Audio/speaker cable and USB connections are wholly different technologies - not least in that one is analog, the other digital. Your speakers wouldn't begin to know what to make of a USB connection.

OK thanks. Graham, these are probably just as Un loud as the hoping USB ones I already have have.

Yeah am just trying to find out the output of these cheap ones I have, am wanting some considerably louder & the ones I have it don't say

They're probably about 2W - that's pretty standard. I looked at the page wee eddie linked to, and I doubt you'd be disappointed with any of those. Personally, I'm a big Creative fan.
