Yes, the Dell U5226KW does not have a dedicated audio out mini-jack output like previous models. Instead, there is a headphone output where you can connect your external Bose speakers if they have a 3.5 mm jack connection. Alternatively, use the integrated USB hub or Thunderbolt 4 to connect a USB audio adapter or DAC for the speakers. The integrated 9-watt speakers are available, but for external devices, the headphone output is the direct option.
