    would it be possible for me to hook up an M17x to an external sound system?

    as an example, i have a system that i can hook up to my tv, dvd player and other things. could i hook it up to an M17x, but just the sound system?

    Your moms laptop does not have a headphone jack? I find that hard to believe unless its one of the first laptops mankind has ever seen.

    you may want to make less threads. all the threads you have started could have been asked in your initial thread.
    the mods may get the ban hammer on you if you continue to start new threads all the time.
    just an fyi.

    The one thing this is for the M17X. Is you can set any of the 3 Jacks to do speakers headphones and Mirophones. Like you can have 3 Headphones Plug into your laptop.
