Older models without an amplifier won't do.

Hello, my old computer has gone to be with all of it's friends where ever old computers go.
I am trying to connect my external speakers to this new Dell Inspirion model 3646 have had no luck, there are three ports in the back of the tower and two in the front.
Internal speakers work ok. If one can help figure where the plugs from the outside speakers go would appreciate any help.
