[CUBE] Sound on the Cube

[Matt Lehrian]

One thing you should do is look at the gain levels for the speakers.  
Launch "Audio MIDI Setup" in Applications/Utilities.  You can adjust 
the gain for each speaker from here.  I know on my Cube I had to tweak 
them higher.  Also, my TiBook had them set pretty low by default.

Cheers!
Matt
