The Dell M115HD 1-Watt audio output is not enough so I experimented with the internal vs. external speakers. The internal 1-Watt audio is only good in a 12x15 or smaller room. Since I use a 50x50 room size, I have to use external speakers. I recommend using an external speaker system with its own volume control as the 1-Watt may not be enough to drive or sync linearly with USB speakers. Personally, I have connected external speakers to my PC and use the PC audio amplifier instead. I hope this helps.

I prosome yes, I bought it as a gift so I am not sure. I bought it for a teacher so I am sure he is using it with speaker. I will have to find out.

Not sure. I don't use the built-in speakers. I just connect the external speakers to the source (laptops, tablets, DVD players, TV cables etc...). I have various Bluetooth speakers that also have an RCA input connector so they work with just about all devices.

The USB port on this projector is not used to display an image from another device. It is to upgrade firmware or device drivers via a computer. Most users will not use this port during normal use of the projector.

We purchased this with a regular projector that hooks up to our laptop. We used regular computer speakers and it worked out great!

The projector does not have an audio out. You would have to hook the speakers up to the component that is providing your video and audio signals to the projector.

You'll be fine with the cables that come with the speakers. Assuming you have a jack for a sound card, all should be fine with your hook up.

You should run your sources (e.g. DVD/BluRay player) into a home theater receiver, and HDMI output from the receiver to HDMI input of the projector. The receiver will drive your speakers.If you connect an HDMI source directly to the projector, it will decode stereo audio only and play it only on small internal speakers.

Yes. It can be used with any device supporting the standard 35mm jack input. You just need to purchase a Y cable separate since the speaker doesn't have an Auxiliary cable input.

The speakers like this that I purchased have a usb plug as well as a speaker jack plug that both must be plugged in to work. If you have both of those they should work. Mine is used in a H-P desktop.

Hi Kenneth Chen, This Home Theater System is compatible to USB 2.0 only. Thanks. &gt;Joffrey

There is a picture focus (brightness cones from a bulb and not adjustable) and some sound. You will need speakers. Very good projector for the money :-)

You can hook up speakers to your source (DVD player, TV, etc). Or, you can use the mini-jack in the back of the projector, but first you have to plug in the audio from the source to the projector! Typically, that is RCA-to-minijack.

Yes you can. I use it with my desktop because the monitor I have did not have speakers. You have to use an available USB port and make sure that USB sound device drivers are installed. This speaker can be loud. It was well worth it.

Get the Ion Block Rocker. You use the auxiliary jack on the speaker and the headphone jack on the projector. Sounds much better than projector speakers. Just be sure to turn projector volume up as well.

If you already have a 5.1 setup, then why do you care about audio on this projector?Oh, after thinking about your question, I realized that you must not have a Home Theater Receiver. This projector is not an AV receiver. You can only hook up headphones/small speakers to this projector. You should really be using separate receiver for your speakers.

No. you do not need USB PC speakers, you need ordinary passive speakers (like the one you use for your home theater). In essence, this device is two-in-one: external USB sound card and an amplifier. Hope that helps.

How you connect depends on what kind of outputs your source has. If your PC or projector has digital outs, opitical or RCA, then that is the way to go to get the best sound. You can use bluetooth, but as you know bluetooth sound is not the best, but not horrible either.

Hi Kathy - I bought this projector and found out too late that you cannot easily just attach external speakers. The speakers built in to the unit are ok, not great. If you are using it in a large room, forget it. While it is a great projector, I ended up sending this one back to amazon, and got a different one that I can attach speakers to.
