the speakers are blown in my TV and I'm not sure what the Two Jacks that I have are for one of them looks like it's for headphones but I plug in speakers are headphones and they don't work. The other says digital audio output but it looks just like an RCA plug. When I search on line digital audio output it shows a totally different plug like my TV don't even exist the way it's set up. I have a pair of computer speakers I'd like to use with my TV but I have no idea how to convert this RCA looking Jack into a speaker wire input. I have a picture but I can't figure out how to upload it. But it just looks like a standard RCA jack a slightly lighter red tint then the one for the standard RCA in

That black port says in the manual audio for dvi device, since dvi doesnt carry audio it must mean a computer with only dvi ports using an hdmi adapter would use the black port as an stereo input on Hdmi 1 channel. Theres a line connecting between Hdmi 1 and the black port but the description of it is hard to read.

For Toslink adapter, something like this that has headphone out and volume control to give headphones decent volume as just an adapter would require an amp on the other side like a sound bar or other means. You'll still hear sound from headphones just not as much volume without an toslink amp with volume control...

I appreciate all your help but for the most part I ended up figuring it out on my own after looking up the manual for my TV and then Googling the audio port that I needed to use I finally figured out that I just needed a standard RCA cable hooked up to a converter. From there I found a converter at Walmart and spent $35 to test out my theory. But the Box itself only cost about $10 and you can get ones with the 3.5 plug built right in. I understand that you were giving me the correct information this whole time but I did not understand what you were talking about and it was kind of useless to me but thank you for trying to help

What you just posted is totally incorrect In fact I bought that item and I knew that it wouldn't work when I was at Walmart and that's why I had to buy a third item because you cannot plug the male end of my computer speakers into the male end of the cord that you just link me to you can't go male to male.

You've given me all kinds of misinformation and most of it has confused me. But I appreciate the effort thank you

All kinds of misinformation? Not at all, just the last part, im sorry. Despite screwing up just now, information prior is correct regarding on information we had at the time. We did provide you with adequate solutions and frankly, sorry, you did confuse things as well.
