You can get something that will plug into your laptop, and into which you can plug in your headphones, and crank it up.

[Hebrews 11:6]

They come equipped with an earbud jack, a small hole to plug in the earbuds.

thx, i meant the bluetooth ones.

[PapaBear3625]

you can also get something that connects to your laptop HDMI port, for possibly better sound quality.

[Hebrews 11:6]

I wondered about that.

[EQAndyBuzz]

I use Sonic Cloud.

[PapaBear3625]

I usually have my laptop connected via HDMI to a big monitor and sound system in my office. My old eyes appreciate big text, and the better sound is a bonus.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Thanks. I’ll check it out.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Sounds nice.

such a pain those little nannies are who keep the volume at 50 DB for your own safety!!

I got my Dell Lap top plug into a 2000WATT PA system in my living room... 8 - 15” 2-Ways around the room make for great surround sound!!

I long for Jam nights here on FR but they are far and few between anymore since the old bags prefer their lawrence welk tunes anymore... Got my next line up ready to go for the next “In Concert” thread that starts up!!

1/8” headphone jack to RCA(Red and white) and plug into your stereo system...

There's nary a serious bone in your body, is there?

I expect you'd enjoy this trip back in time:

I’m using a JBL sound bar that the HDMI ARC input crapped out, but it still works and sounds good - along with the wireless sub

Very funny!   Never heard that story quite like that before.  (Did that guy have a hand in the King James translation of the Bible?)      :-)
