I've installed the Tweety Board on my ST. What it actually does is keep all
three sound channels seperate and you get a three jack connector out of your
computer.  Obviously your stereo is not three channel so they have included
a "Y" cable adaptor so you can merge two of the channels together. It comes
out sounding pretty good with a speaker on each side of my computer BUT as
more games take advantage of digitized sound, this little gadget will become
less useful. The reason for that is to make digitized sound to sound better
out the ST's sound chip, most of the time they use all three sound channels
together additively. This results in stereo "noise" which is worse than
listening to the monitor speaker. (I've got a separate audio out jack for
just listing to digitized sound)

Hope this helps your decision.
