What kind of speakers do you have for your PC? And how many of them are there? Windows 98 users should appreciate the ability to tweak playback options for their sound card using the Multimedia applet in the Control Panel. Open it up, select the 'Audio' tab, and press the 'Advanced Properties' button in the 'Playback' section. The 'Speakers' tab should have a drop down box, allowing you to select a speaker configuration for your particular setup. Accordingly, Windows should optimize the way it plays sounds. You may consider selecting a completely different configuration from your own to "hear" if it maximizes output quality. Sounds good to me!
