Nothing.  Same behavior.

Rewhat?

If I plug the speakers into the headphone port on the front of the  
machine that appears to work,  However, ther is no Line IN on that  
port, so I can't use my headset for phone calls since the Line Out on  
the back would not play well with a headset (especially since it  
seems to be locked at full volume).

(did you mean to not post to the list?)
