Connecting external speakers

You can connect external, amplified speakers to your computer to take
advantage of its high-quality, stereo sound output.
You need a cable with stereo mini-plugs on each end to connect the speakers.
In some cases, you connect the cable to one of the speakers and then use
speaker wire to connect the second speaker. In other cases, you use a Y-shaped,
two-plug adapter on the end of the cable and attach one plug to each speaker.
Refer to the instructions that came with the speakers for more information.
To connect external speakers:
