An analogue headset/external speakers jack. Note that in order for the external speakers to work, I need to use HDA Analyser to change the settings otherwise things remain stuck on the internal speaker. I did not try an analogue headset. 2. An analogue line-in jack. I tried this with a powered condenser microphone - I can hear a recording, but the level is too low for practical use. I'm not sure there is an internal microphone connected - shouting at the mac mini box does not produce an audible recording :P Thanks for your help and suggestions so far.
