Newbie question, how can i connect my iMac (intel) to external Speaker?. What cable do i need to buy, because what i have search before need to connect to optical output (port jack 'Headphone' at the back of iMac), but my speaker/subwoofer have only two port, white and red.

And another thing, do i need to configure something in Mac OS in order to use external speaker and disable the built-in speakers?

By the way im using Edifier speaker.

Anybody plz?

how come ur speaker set only got the red & white port? so strange..
sure got a green headphone jack, then connect though the optical output (port jack 'Headphone' at the back of iMac)

What you will need is called a "mini to RCA" cable. It looks something like this. Sri Computer has them for around RM5-10 (depending on length).

Wow thank u kwekeugene. Besides this cable, do i need to setup anything?

You're welcome. That is pretty much it. Connect to headphone jack and you are done.
