This might be a dumb question, but I connected an external speaker to my 5550 today and was surprised to find out the the volume knob does not control it. Did I miss something? How do I control the external speaker volume?

To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:
Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.
If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.
To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.
The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.
For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).
This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.

I figured out what the problem was. It was that I had changed the settings for the tones to be a fixed volume and that made everything loud. Do you know what ohm the speaker should be? My current one is only 2 I'm thinking it should be 4 or 8 ohm.Your most probably on the Flat Audio instead of speaker audio pin -

Motorola sells external identical looking speakers in the 8, or 4 ohm variety. They look identical, but they get extra $ for the 4 ohm speaker because it’s “louder”. So if you’re using a 2 ohm speaker, it’s the loudest.

It's actually a moto speaker. I'm going to add a pot and make it 8 ohm most likely.
