Arcade speakers

About 2 years ago, I purchased an arcade machine from a local arcade shop.  Converting it to a MAME machine was a snap; I used Ultimarc's J-PAC and ArcadeVGA, and it was up and running!

The only issue I have is with the arcade speakers.  When I plugged the cord connected to the speakers into my PC, it surprisingly worked; however, even when I crank up the sound on my computer to the highest levels, it isn't very loud at all.

I remember having a similar issue about 15 years ago with external speakers connected to a computer, but I never did resolve it.  Does anyone have any ideas as to how to fix this issue (or even what is causing the issue)?

Amplifier?

shatteredzman:

You need an amp.

Amp, or replace with PC speakers

Thanks for the responses; I didn't know they made computer amplifiers... (not much of a sound guy myself)

Actually, I like the idea of just going with PC speakers; they are cheaper and would produce the same noises...
