How do I connect external speakers to Mac Studio M2 without line out port?

unencumbered by any deep knowledge of advanced High Fidelity gear --

The classic way to hook up a computer with only a headphone level output (like almost every Mac EXCEPT the one you owned before) for 'ordinary' sound output was to use amplified speakers wired to the Headphone jack. Because PCs have always worked this way, there are more of these available for PCs than you can imagine. Two little desktop speakers where one contains an integrated amp.

NO, these will NOT cause the walls to shake on playback -- that requires a more serious solution.

USB Audio Adapter:

• A simple USB-to-3.5mm audio adapter can work for basic setups. These are inexpensive and provide sufficient power for external speakers.
• Like UGREEN USB Audio Adapter or Plugable USB Audio Adapter.

Powered Audio Interface:

• If you're planning to do music recording, consider an audio interface like the Focusrite Scarlett Solo or PreSonus AudioBox. These interfaces will handle both your speakers and music equipment.

My SoudSticks connect via USB (to an M2 Max running Ventura). Maybe you can find speakers that use USB?

Good luck:

I have just bought the same computer and just now i realize that the audio port is missing.

By the way....i cannot understand the reason to avoid such a simple port on a 5000 € computer...

I am tempted by the Focusrite Scarlett but first I'll give a test to a simple USB-to-3.5mm audio adapter as suggested by @Wael-1966

Yes- no line out on the Mac Studio. So, either external soundcard with USB-A or USB-C input or, as Stephen Blunk suggested, maybe find a speaker with USB input.
