Diane said: Have you downloaded your documentation? They even tell you how to hook up external speakers, the documentation is quite thorough. Everything I see says there's an audio out under the cover like there is on every other IQ5xx series unit.

dear Diane,  

sorry for the trouble , can you plz send me the link to dowload the manuals???

Really? There's a point where you need to stand on your own two feet, start at www.hp.com and follow the links to support for your model. The documentation also weas shipped with your unit.

Yeah really,
