Are you using an amplifier or are you sending the soundcards signal
directly to the speakers?
This might be electrical issue. The output signal of your soundcard
should probably be amplified (by an amplifier of course) before sending
it to the speakers. Perhaps the soundcard has another output, where you
can get more powerful signal meant for headphones or smaller speakers.
Maybe your soundcard has a jumper, which can be used to turn on small
amplifier on your soundcard?
