Does anything sound good from his computer? Unless I'm reading your description wrong, nothing sounds right on that machine. How about windows beep sounds?
What type of speaker/amplifier arrangement does he have? Any chance his PC sound level is maxed and the speaker/amplifier level is low?
Edit: Okay, I just noticed the store-bought CD's part. Are windows beep sounds okay? Does it sound overdriven? Open his PC mixer. Check the volume for Master, Wave, and CD Audio. Is Wave high vs. the other settings?
