Do You Always Have Your Speakers On

when you are online? When I am on the computer I tend to keep my speakers off. And the only time I do have them on is when my kids and I are playing video games. :P I find it easier to keep them off though as it is less distracting for me. So what about you? Do you have your speakers on, or are you like me and keep them off? Please share your thoughts. Thanks!

I usually keep my speakers off. I have headsets and I do not like to disturb anyone so if I am learning a language or want to listen to music while surfing, I will use them. I have not listened to anything lately, two computers in the same room, husband who uses his speakers. Get the idea?

Learning a language? Which one, that sounds really cool. To finish my degree I'll have to take 3 semesters of Spanish. But with the population growing in Hispanics, I really feel it will be put to good use.

I keep my speaker off when my husband is in bed but once hes out of bed, those babies get turned on. I enjoy the sound and such of the speakers but I know my husband needs his sleep as he works such long hours.

When I am online, I don't like to turn the speaker on. I would get distracted from it. I don't listen to music or what. I need to be concentrated online especially when I am on mylot.

I keep my speakers off when I am surfing the internet. There are just too many sites with music and it is so very distracting. I turn the speakers on if I wish to play my own music though!

No I usually have mine on, because I love classical music, and there is a wicked radio station that I can get on line from Toronto. I particularly love it when answering on mylot and playing on pogo.I love most music, but classical is my favorite.

Dear sacmom I on the speakers usually many times .. but I don't on the music all the time while I am on net. I find it disturbing many times specially when I am concentrating on mylot discussions ... I give my whole attention to mylot discussions so I don't feel like listening to music at that time .. but if I have the mood to listen to music then I make the volume slow so that I can enjoy music in a low volume as well as I can concentrate on mylot discussions too :)

Yes, I tend to always be listening to music whilst on the computer and so yes speakers tend to be on. However they must be off when I am reading a textbook or studying as I can't concentrate, but I can still enjoy music whilst doing questions and so on. So mostly yes, they are on constantly.

I keep my speakers on all the time. If I find something distracting then I will turn them down, but for the most part I do leave them on.

When I am online and I am not listening to any music on my computer I don't have my speaker on, I keep them off. I turn them on only when I am listening to music, watching a movie and playing games on my computer. :-)

Yup, i'm usually listening to music when mylotting, so speakers on! If i'm on other sites, like reading or listening to the news, i have my music off, but i have to have my speakers on always! Take care Sacmom.

when i'm using the desktop in our living room, i usually turn the speakers off. i only turn them on when i want to listen to music. when i'm using our laptop, the speakers are usually on. when i'm using the computer in my bedroom, the speakers are always on because i use it for playing online games. but now i already stopped playing online games because i'm too busy mylotting. hehe. and i use the laptop in our parents' room for mylotting. =)

I only switch on my speakers if I want to hear music or sound effects that are available for certain programs/games. No point having them on unless I want to use them, right? :P

No i dont, i fact they are only switched on if im listening to music from my laptop. Reason being i do not want the noise from my messengers when people pm me, and i dont want the crap from websites that i visit which have sound adverticement. I find these a plague.

I am having speakers for my system.I feel it is better to keep them off when we are using the computer for doing some serious work.I usually keep them off.Whenever i feel bore of myself then i keep my speaker on for listening music or listening video conversations.Really speaking for us speakers are helping a lot sometimes for us indirectly or directly in our daily rountine inorder to get better relief.What do u say friend?Am i right.
