As you probably already know, the audio from the 5487 goes to a powered speaker, and the audio being fed to the speaker board is line level. You don't do anything with the DB25 connector except to plug the speaker unit into it. Anything the speaker unit needs is sent from the 5487 and vice-versa. I imagine you could, if absolutely necessary, pick off the audio and send it to an external amplifier. I have a diagram of the speaker circuit around here somewhere if you need it. Send me your snail mail address via PM and I'll send the diagram to you.
