PC USB output is normally limited to 500ma spec
That means 2.5w
There is no power on the 3.5 mm sterro Jack
If the jbl speakers are externaly powered from another source ( not pc ) you can certainly use the audio signal to drive them, to get more sound
I have a pair of pc speakers with built in amp, that are powered by a wall wort
That i sometimes use
Side note, my first job in California was at JBL, in Northridge Ca, in their then brand new facility
Funny thing i drove by there this morning, they are doing more construction at what is now the Harmon Karden xxxx Campus
Ok sorry, back on topic carry on
