Hi @jb111b 

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community! We're here to help you get back up and running.

 

I understand you’d like to connect external speakers using a 3.5 mm cable. Thank you for sharing this requirement. 

 

Before I provide the exact steps, could you let me know a few details so we can guide you accurately:

 

  • Which HP product are you using (for example, a notebook model or desktop)?
  • Have you already tried connecting the cable to the audio port, and if so, what happens—do you hear any sound or is it still silent?
  • Are you using standard wired speakers or a specific brand/model that might need additional setup?

 

With these details, I’ll be able to share precise HP‑recommended steps tailored to your device.

 

We're looking forward to helping you get back up and running! 

 

Regards, 

Hawks_Eye
