[QUOTE="pattylt, post: 1479074, member: 262119"] Please forgive this question if it turns out my ignorance is showing. I have an awesome set of OLD Altec Lansing speakers that I would love to use on my 27" iMac. I have a mic port and what I assume is a line in. I plugged the speaker into the supposed Line in and nothing. I went into system preferences, sound, output and the only choices are Internal Speakers and Apple TV. Is there a step I'm missing? Is there a way to make the Mac "see" these external speakers? Yes, I am a noobie. Somehow I expected the Mac to recognize that something was plugged in. Is this not a line in port? ... and the help screen was no help at all. <sigh> Thanks to any takers. [/QUOTE]
