so I am planning to buy a simple pair of speakers (mars ms1 , https://es.marsgaming.eu/en/audio/ms1-gaming-speakers_ms1#product-buy) that have a little sub woofer (I guess) I currently have a very simple BT mono speaker so will be a huge upgrade for me , I most of the time use earphones so it will be enough . My question is if my motherboard supports two audio outputs connected ? since I have already my earphones connected to the green jack and it´s to stay there always . I have a 3.5mm jack on the case and the monitor but I believe that the motherboard jack will make speakers sound a bit better.

I have none to little knowledge about sound , so if said something wrong , I am sorry

You should be able to connect them to the blue jack on the motherboard if you have one? if not then it only supports one connection directly.

There is a small benefit in sound quality from using the motherboard output. Personally I would say the headphones matter most for sound quality so I would plug the speakers into the case if you don’t have a blue jack.
