The motherboard audio outputs AND soundcards ONLY put out a LOW-LEVEL audio
signal that must be passed thru an audio Amplifier to raise it to a high
level audio signal that a non-powered speaker can use.
The HEADPHONE jack on the front of the computer is slightly amplified for
use by headphones only.
Bottom line: computers require the use of POWERED speakers, not passive.
