I have a set of USB powered speakers. Actually 2. One is fine and the other I gave away. The ones I gave away required a driver and had very low volume. The ones I toss in my bag are USB powered and the audio connected to the laptop audio outputs.

Sorry for posting a link to a store, but this is the only site I could find that has these.
Anyone heard of this company and this store?
