Can I connect  a standard 3.5 mm plug into the combined (ear piece and mic) socket on my omen gaming laptop so I can connect external loud speakers?

Hi @jim756 

 

Yes, it can but the quality may be compromised by the watts of power.

OK, thanks. 

I intend to use active speakers i.e. where the enclosure has a loudspeaker and an amplifier. It will need power either from a Type A USB socket or a power supply (wall wart) if the active speakers are particularly powerful.   

Thanks for your help.
