Is there an audio output for External speakers

There is NO analog audio out on this monitor. It does, however, have a DIGITAL audio out (coaxial). There MAY be a way to take this and convert it to stereo line out. You can find such a unit at http://www.amazon.com/Digital-Optical-Coaxial-Toslink-Converter/dp/B007S6U7I4 . Just use a digital audio coaxial cable to go from the digital out from this monitor, and hook it up to the input of this box, attach a DC power supply, and hook the outputs to a line input on an amplifier. Today's PC speakers take line level signals. With some adapters, you can connect the output of this box to the input of PC speakers. This would probably get around HDMI related woes. With HDMI, video and audio are routed TOGETHER. This can be a mess if you want to route your sound to good speakers or even a good stereo system. By the way, the Emerson monitor that I have is another one that I bought previously. When I ordered another one, there was only one left, and it got damaged. I was given another brand and model for the same price. From John Nozum

Yes, speaker outputs are there. It's a good little product. Don't be fooled by the "600w" claim. That's a lie. I bought a half dozen of these for a commercial install for source switching and memory card input integration. They were great. It would work perfect for a dorm, apt, small house, etc. very feature packed and plenty of power for a modest space. Once again dude, look at the price...

I don't know the answer. I'm just a tv watcher. There are no external speakers.

You can add external speakers - there are audio outputs. There are also audio inputs to accompany external video inputs.

No....only an external speaker can be connected (which is highly recommended)

You will need powered external speakers if you plan not to use a receiver. In other words, speakers which have their own volume control.

I believe stinkbug's answer is correct. you must select the external speakers in the sound preferences in your settings.

Just an external speaker. Sound is good but, you'll not get any louder sound from this speaker than what's coming from your unit.

Yes. The speakers aren't as bad as you might think. I still have mine hooked to external speakers, though.

The speakers are nothing to write home about. You want to get an external set of speakers to get any kind of sound quality but the soundcard is okay!

Yes, I use the audio out with HDMI for headphones. You should be able to connect the audio out to an audio input on an amplifier for external speaker reception.

I don't find any connections for external speakers. There is aux in and out and AM and FM antenna connections and a phone jack on the front. The internal speakers are pretty good. It is not a component like setup, but a good product for playing CDs, cassettes I think, never had and records. I got it to transfer records to CDs and it has done a very good job. Use it some for playback and am happy.
