Topic: Sound output

Maybe I missed it but I tried to plug my computer speakers into my Chumby to improve the output and it sounded terrible.   Maybe a compatible output.  I have yet to try my stereo.

Output on Chumby is for headphones. Computer speakers expect line level output.

A headphone extension cable with built in volume control would solve this. Actually, a simple audio pad (attenuator) circuit would solve this, but I can't seem to find an appropriate schematic.

FYI, some USB speakers work. I tried some Logitech USB laptop speakers. Only problem was no volume control.
