Before posting, I did try to read the manual, and tried LEM and got a lot of good info. Guess where it said don't plug regular, non-Apple speakers in this port, is where I got a little questioning. I thought it said only use "Apple USB Speakers" ... which confused me ... a smaller than 1/8" plug for that port which I thought they said was "digital out". Guess its not S/PDIF as I see some of the later Macs apparently have now? One of the LEM DA pages actually skips mentioning the audio out ... just says there's no mic in. Using the Headphones Out to my desktop speakers is simple enough. Just additionally curious about the rest. Thanks.
