This is no dumb question. I have a cheap SB16 clone which has 3 jacks:

Line In, Mic, Line Out. No Speaker !

So I HAVE to use Line Out. Anyway, I'm using xmmix to get all the gain
up to the top. It's a little bit louder. If you want it really loud
you must plug in active boxes or your home stereo.

Bye,
	Udo
