    Plug the speakers into your sound card. I am not familiar with any PSU (power supply unit) that has jacks for speakers.

    No, none do. Can you clarify what you're on about? The speaker plugs will be where they always were, at the back of the motherboard.

    I'm afraid I've never seen such a device in my life - maybe contact Packard Bell regarding a traditional power plug for the speakers.

    I assumed that's what he was on about but I've never seen it done before - it's an interesting and quite useful concept actually.

    Yeah that's what I thought it would be like. As it happens I have worked on a PC with that unit in, but didn't ever really look at the back.
