A:Answer There is a standard mini-dinn port on the front of the computer only which is not amplified. There is not a "sound card" but a chipset integrated into the motherboard for basic sound output. IMHO, it is suitable for providing sound for Zoom or other but there is no microphone port. Again, no sound ports on the back of the unit. This unit more corresponds to a Vostro than an XPS in older model terminology. The processor is fast.
