The audio jack codec for debian and ubuntu also sounds great-- on my system. I have not piped it to any powered speakers, but the ear-buds are fantastic.
Now then, this $29 dollar SBC is a computer. Why do people expect it to be a $570 media center !?!

The front-end on your powered speakers may require an impedence match; also, I think you'll find the hdmi audio output is superior anyway, and use that.
Ok, it's not a monitor, it's a TV. a really inexpensive one. I tried what you said and there wasn't any change.
I don't expect a media center, or concert quality sound, but something approximately accurate to the video would be really nice.
Oddly remix has no options available for sound. Have you tried remix on this board? I had to go get some better uSD cards, so I am going to try linux (like I said earlier).
I just don't know yet if it is OS related or hardware. But since it's the same crappy sound from analog as hdmi, and I have currently only tried remix, I have to wait until I can get my linux image burned. I tried ubuntu mate but it has other issues. If I still have problems with a new card I will make a new post about that.
But like you said, it's a computer. Just like my orange pi, my banana pi, and my desktop, my laptop, my tablets and even my phone. I don't know why you're blaming an impedance mismatch for speakers designed for use on a computer to be the problem as to the audio quality being bad when connected to a computer.
These aren't radio shack speakers, they are klipsch.
