Best Audio Jack/Output socket

Most TVs have a headphone socket. Some have an audio output socket and others have a scart socket but I haven't seen a TV that has a means of attaching speakers directly.

If there is an audio output it can be connected to a hi-fi or an amplifier and speakers and similarly a scart adaptor can be used for the same purpose.

Probably the best and easiest way is to use the headphone socket and plug in a pair of powered computer speakers

Got a feeling the other jack is for a microphone.

The audio out socket of a laptop is designed for headphones and it is unlikely there is sufficient output to drive passive speakers. Only active speakers would be acceptable.

I am not sure whether the headphone socket is in the device manager's list but it could be worth looking. If it is on the list it should be possible to troubleshoot it.

Using usb speakers or bluetooth speakers would overcome the immediate problem.

I use a usb fm transmitter when watching a movie on my laptop so I can tune any nearby fm radio or hifi to obtain a decent movie soundtrack. I have 3 of these very cheap devices. I can play computer audio files at work on the upstairs office computer and listen on the workshop radio downstairs.

External speakers usually require a power source. This may be provided by USB, power adapter or sometimes batteries.

They need to be plugged in AND switched on. And the audio plug needs to be in the audio socket - easily confused with a microphone socket

If you have checked that and they still do not work, you may have damaged wiring.

One last thing. Some digital speakers require a special digital socket - although the plug is the same. Check that your speakers are analog for use with a standard audio output!

Check that the speakers are powered on (assuming they need power) and that the volume control is set at a mid-level.Next check that you have the speaker 3.5mm jack plug inserted into the correct speaker socket on the audio card - there are normally three sockets, one each for a microphone, speaker or headphone output and for line output - these are often colour coded on newer systems and if so, match the colour of the speaker jack plug to the speaker socket.If the speakers are connected by USB instead of an audio jack plug, then check to see if the USB device has been recognised automatically - if not, then you may need to find any software that came with the speakers and install this before the system will recognise them.Finally, open the system audio controls and check what device is selected for audio output - ensure that this is the same as the speaker device you are wanting to use.One further test, if you have the speakers powered on and they have a standard audio jack, you should hear some feedback sound if you touch the contacts at the end of the jack plug with your fingers.

Hi, Unfortunately it has no audio output jack / connector. But if you want to enabling audio output just tap it on internal speaker wires ( make it parallel or disconnect internal speaker and use your external speaker).

Most HPs have a utility in the Conrol panel for speaker jack output assignment, verify you have them plugged into the green jack not blue/pink, verify that the digital output only is not selected in the speaker control panel. you say built in speakers , are these in the monitor, some HPS have two outputs that can be controlled individually, again this is in the control panel audio properties utility, sometimes there is a audio icon by the clock (bottom right) that will also adjust these settings, but the "control panel" way is more reliable.

if your tv has an audio output other than the hphone jack. either an optical or composite audio output.

The socket on your player is an audio output. The headphone socket on a Hi-Fi unit is, again, an audio output. If your cable has a 3.5mm audio mini-jack (male) at each end, you can connect the headphone output of your device to an input socket, but these generally only exist in some in-car players, and rarely on home audio products.

If you want to connect to a Hi-Fi system, you are better off connecting to the phono-in sockets that you will find at the back of your unit, notably on dedicated amplifiers. You can then get a simple lead with a 3.5mm audio mini-jack (male) at one end and a pair of phono plugs (left and right) at the other end. This should cost no more than a few pounds and are available from places like Maplin or from specialist sellers on eBay.

Is there actually any unknown devices in the device`manager?

Are your monitor speakers USB or do they plug into the audio out jack of your sound card or motherboard???

If they plug into the sound jack, then test the sound output with a pair of headphones.

Hope this helps you narrow it down. Please reply back if you need further help

Hi, Based on your post/description, the Durabrand 2.0 CH USB Speaker System is a basic external speaker that plugs into your PC's speaker/headset output (green jack). It is supposed to get its power from the +5VDC supplied by the USB port. Some USB port have current limiting therefore it can be anywhere from 10 - 500 mA. The power requirement of your external Durabrand speaker maybe beyond what the PC's USB ports can supply. It does not need to be recognized by the OS since it only connects to the USB to get power but there is no data interaction. Perhaps what you can do is get an external +5VDC power supply whose output is in USB type connector. The current rating would depend on the requirement of your speaker. Offhand, if the speakers are not that big, probably a 1 Amp would do. This is of course assuming that the Durabrand speaker system is fully functional. If with an external power supply it is still a no go and you have verified that sound do come out of your green jack (with the use of an ordinary headset), then the Durabrand is defective. Hope this be of help/idea. Post back how things turn up or should you need further information. Good luck and kind regards.
