Hey there,

Ok this I can help with...

Since your computer is fairly old, you are using an old soundcard back in the day when speakers did not have a built in amp. The output coming from the computer is a preamped signal, and you are outputting it to preamped speakers...

This is what u should do to reduce the distortion.
Turn the volume levels to 50% on the windows volume control, for master and wave out.

Then you should control the volume with the bose system itself. This should result in the least amount of distortion, this is the best you can do.

Good luck, that bose system isn't known to be distortion free, especially at higher volume outputs.
