that require an external power source. Other types of speakers will be
inadequate to produce sound from the computer.

headphones or external speakers into the headphone jack.
The headphone jack requires a 16-ohm stereo mini connector.

For external speakers, use the volume controls on each speaker.
For headphones, use the computer’s volume control.
