I am wondering about how to hook up a pair of computer speakers to this system. Is there a standard 3.5mm jack on the back of the system for computer speakers to plug into?

Yes you can. There is a 3.5 mm jack in the back to hook up any speaker or headphones which is the same mm

Yes, i hooked the speakers from our old computer to this new one. They're standard 3.5. Everything sounds just fine

There is a headphone jack and an AV output using 2 standard RCA plugs (red and white). The impedance is not given so I am not sure if there is enough output to drive speakers. It would work with a pair of amplified computer speakers or through a small amplifier of course.

Is your 3.5 mm connector stereo?, even if it is I'm guessing there are inexpensive adapters (probably @ Radio Shack) that will convert a 3.5 mm plug to either 2 wire (mono) or 4 wire (stereo). Pay attention to wire polarities (+ & -) as traditional 2 wire speakers connections are + & - , even if the wires are connected backwards the speakers will still work-- result you will be driving them backwards & they will not sound as clear. Solution, just reverse the wires. Good luck

Hello what is the size of the speaker wire you can recommend that is good to use for this system that could give me the best sound? I will appreciate it very much if you can reply to this question.Thanks...

My speakers hook to an amp, that has the same connects as the speakers, so I used regular speaker wire. If yours has jacks, I have used cables that had the proper jack, and cut of the jacks on the opposite end, to hook the speaker.

There is a 3.5mm standard audio cable to connect the speakers to your computer or other device. You may have to select the source depending on if you plugged into audio in 1 or audio in 2. To do this depress both the forward and back buttons on the control puck simultaneously.

As far as I know you have to connect the stereo directly to you computer. Your computer can only send sound through one device. Basically, your computer can't recognize your sound system.

Only the output jacks on the front and rear. I've only seen laptops with built-in speaker systems. There are a lot of good inexpensive (&lt;$30) speaker systems available. Search Amazon or a auction site with free S&H for "computer speakers subwoofer system". Read this Amazon review, it may help you:

These speakers do not come with wires. To connect them to amplifier/receiver you'll need wires, which is usually the case with any stereo system.Regarding the computer - I'm afraid that a typical sound card of a computer/laptop will not supply enough current to make these speakers work.

I don't see and easy way to connect an auxiliary speaker/cabinet. There are 1 - 1/4 inch Foot-switch, 1- Guitar (input),1- USB connector and a 1- small (1/8th inch stereo?) headphone output. Nothing on the back other than 1 - three prong AC input jack

Armand S., What options do you have on the back of your audio system? RCA/3.5mm? Optical Audio? --Mr. S

I don't think these speakers would be a good choice as a PC speaker. They are quite large and have the standard red and black post connectors on the back of the speaker for connecting to an audio amplifier or receiver. You might be able to connect wires to a small jack that would plug into the PC and then connect to the speaker but I'm not sure the output of the PC would be sufficient to drive these speakers. I think there are much better choices for computer speakers including speakers with built in amps to supplement the output of the PC

only if your home stereo system has an Aux input or output, doubt it though as most home stereo system either require bare cables or a receiver, it will connect your computer to another speaker source that uses 3.5mm aux connection

You will need right and left RCA plugs into the speakers with a 1/8" connector into the computer. Same as most computer speakers. You can get the cord on Amazon, Radio Shack, Best Buy, etc.

There is no audio jack. As mentioned previously, base audio is via HDMI. Most true audiophiles won't be happy with stock audio chips. We have, in those instances where we do not have a HDMI monitor with speakers, added a USB audio "stick"/card. This would give you a jack that you could then run into your stereo system. Because this unit is essentially built off the same parts as a laptop, the stock audio chipset will be comparable to what a laptop outputs. There is a Haswell based version which has an audio jack and increases the USB port count and adds USB 3 which should be arriving in 2-6 weeks. There is no audio jack.
