Audio out

Hi,

Think this is working though screen text is a bit mixed up. Is there another way to get decent audio out from the Optiplex other than the headphone jack at front?  In the past there used to be audio cards! Must be an easier way. I do have an iiyama prolite with good sound but just cant connect. Thanks,Doug

    Which model Optiplex do you have? Generally there is a line out (green) jack on the back of the system for external speakers, headphones, etc. But audio cards are still in use and a sample of them can be found here.

    You r correct Dell got rid of rear audio port in 5000.  It was available in 5090.
