There’s “no built in audio” on the machine, are there devices I can run through the USB port? (I’m new to this so I’ll plead ignorance.)

Sound was provided by an external USB amplifier and a pair of Harman Kardon speakers. Although the USB amplifier had a standard mini-plug headphone output, it lacked any audio input. This one used the Apple Pro speakers: http://www.amazon.com/Apple-Pro-Speaker-… You can find them on eBay.
