I am working on an HP Pavilion which came with a monitor into which my speakers plugged. The monitor died. Money being tight, I attached a Sony monitor, which works fine, but which has no connection for speakers. I cannot find a speaker connection on the CPU, either back or front. There is, however, a headphone connection (into which the speakers will not plug).

Am I stuck with headphones from this point on? Or is there some kind of adapter I can get which will permit me to plug the speakers into the headphone outlet?

I find it ridiculous that the Pavilion should have no connection for the speakers other than the one on the recently deceased monitor. Can anyone provide some advice?

Thanks a lot.
