Hello, the short answer to this is no. The RCA audio outputs on our cables boxes are not powered. The speakers would need to be connected to your television or amplifier for audio. If you have any additional questions, can you please email cox.help@cox.com with name, address, and link to forum thread. The purpose of the Cox Cable Forum is to allow customers to discuss technical topics related to residential Cox Cable TV services with other customers. If you need help with billing or other account specific issues, please reach us on Twitter at @CoxHelp, visit us on Facebook, or at cox.help@cox.com.
