I was wondering how I can get a good, loud amplified sound with a microphone attached to my 35M series Toshiba Laptop. The speakers already pre-installed in the Laptop are very poor and low sounding. I don't think I have enough HOLES in the system to accommodate the microphone line and a bought speaker connection. HELP!!!  I would really LIKE to use my laptop as a karaoke, but don't know where to start or what is the cheapest route. Thanks a lot   Try turning up the volume... IS it set to the maximum amplification? Also, seeing as you are trying to RECORD a VERY loud sound, try SCREAMING into your mic.....  

[glb]Flame[/glb]I'm not joking. I need to know how can I upgrade my laptop so I can use a microphone to it. I'm a singer and thought it CONVENIENT if I was able to bring my laptop around by plugging it and popping a karaoke CD and SING through the mic.Well.... Like I said... Turn up the volume on the computer... Is the volume turned up all the way? Also, if you do not have enought room, or enought ports on the laptop for these connections, then you are out of luck...
