Do what I did and cheat.

Does she own a Hi-fi of somesort with a pair of speakers (or more)? If so, just pickup a magic cable that connects the PC's audio out socket (little headphone plug deal) to the red and black Aux-in sockets on the back (or front) of her hi-fi. Just set the hi-fi to auxilary mode, then you can play the pc music/ sound through her hi-fi with much better quality and graphic equalizer controls han any of those horrid little speaker sets will.

I have a half knackered old hi-fi with a pair 50watt speakers, but they produce beautiful sound and rather good base, espaically given the Realtec audio driver software programme thingy with all its settings to play with....

Worth a thought anyway.
