[P1] Huge speakers for little iBook?

[Michael Flournoy]

Careful! If yours is like my 366 the port that looks like a headphone 
jack is , like you said, some sort of a combi-port for audio/visual 
stuff. I found that when I plugged headphones in and wiggled it even 
slightly the screen would set itself to NTSC. Really ugly. The whole 
display preference screen would be changed with most of the options 
gone and strange new ones. The only way I could fix it was with a 
reboot.
I use a Griffin iMic in the usb port now which gives no problem.
The output will be too low to run the speakers unless they have built 
in amplifiers. I run my iMac through the home stereo with a patch cord 
to the aux input.
    Good luck,
                   Mike
