    This may be in the wrong section but I thought here would have more knowledge, basically I want to run the internal and external speakers together, the external speakers arent great, they are 2.1 but I just want to try it anyway, does anyone know how to set this up? I have the speakers plugged into the audio jack at the back but then the speakers won't plat from the actual iMac speakers

    Thanks

    I don't think you can do it using the headphone output of the iMac. The OS is configured to mute the internal speaker output when headphones/speakers are connected.

    You might be able to get a USB sound output device and run the speakers from that without muting the internal speakers, but I am just taking a bit of guess on this.
