Computer to stereo volume is very quiet
Hi,
I am having trouble getting my computer to play loudly out of this Crosley's speakers. I have adjusted my computer's ( mac powerbook) volume output, replaced the connector wire, and still it's very much quieter than the radio, phonograph, or CD. Help! I have a lot of music that I can only play off my computer. ( I have also tested this with another laptop which is also too quiet, and an Ipod.) Is there anything I can do?

Unless you have a choice of inputs, nothing.
If available, you can try a magnetic cartridge input which is much more sensitive than 'Line.'
It may be screechy though, different curve.
"AUX" inputs and outputs are not standardized in any way I know; they are entirely dependent on the manufacturer.
"LINE" in/outputs expect or deliver a known voltage into a standard terminating resistance.
This is well-defined here:
