I have a set of Harman Kardon Champagne speakers connected to my laptop, and I'm unhappy with the volume I get out of it. I know it's not the fault of the speaker kit, because I know this system can play pretty loud for it's size...I've also had my laptop connected to my stereo too with a Y-plug. The only sound output option I know of on my laptop is the headphone jack.

Is there a way of getting more volume to my speaker kit via say....a preamp or a line driver or something?

Any advice would be great and I'd appreciate it!
