Save yourself some time and aggrevation, go out and buy a sound card
and a pair of inexpensive computer speakers (like Labtec) and a Thunder
board (I got a package deal at a big Discount warehouse store, $99 for
both) The sounds are FAR Better through a sound card, even a cheapie
sound card, than through the internal speaker.  Also get a ac adaptor
from radio shark to power the speakers (so your kids can't run down
the batt's).
Plus think fo the WOW Power you'll get from your kids, eh superdad?

If you want stereo then you can get the Pro Audio Spectrum 16, and connect
it to you stereo system. There's just no limit.
