Speaker Connection Issue

[Jrod0582]

Hello all,

I have a slight problem. I currently have a Dell Studio 1535 lap top and am looking to purchase some speakers for it. I am looking at the Logitech X-540 Surround Sound Speakers. My problem is that my dell has 2 headphone outputs and a microphone output. I am wondering what way you would recommend hooking up these speakers as there is no speaker output. I have multiple unused USB ports and also an HDMI port as well as a port to hook up another monitor. Your suggestions are very much appreciated!

i don't think there is any real difference between a headphone output and a speaker output. The speakers have their own power so they will be able to amplify the signal sufficiently.

yeah I figured that out after I actually thought about it for a minute. Thanks for your help though!
