Melody... for one.....I am NO computer wizz. I learnt everything I know (and that isn't really a whole lot) from either my daughter or people like these wonderful people in this forum.

I too have a jack for earphones, and I have built in speakers. What I did try last week, was to put a set of ear phones into that jack, and I could hear what was happening, but no-one else could. That's a plus. It gave me sound, and the others got peace & quiet.

I was going to try and answer a bit more of your question as some of your pictures look a bit like the front of my computer, but I didn't want to end up looking like a complete fool.

I hope you get the answers you're looking for.
