There is no /etc/ folder in my Home folder. I get the feeling this not good?

Travel is infrequent, but use mostly USB headset, but also at times, speakers. At home, use a little of everything, but would like output to my flat panel TV, but don't have an HDMI out on this old computer. Under Windows, I have used one of the other graphics outputs that needed separate audio, for which I used a separate cable plugged into the analog headset jack, but distortion is bad. Hope that answers your question.

Probably true...thanks for taking time to dig. For my level of expertise, I'm on the hairy edge.

Right...no HDMI, though I'd prefer it. As stated above, I am using the 3.5 mm headphone jack in combination with a rear connector that has 3 rows of 10 pins plus a short horizontal blade at one end of the set of pins - don't know what it's called, but SPDIF sounds familiar. However, if it has a small black hole covered by a plug, I never discovered it.
