Configuring the audio jacks
If the back of your computer has six audio jacks, five of the jacks are universal jacks (which
use a round mini-jack connector) and one of the jacks is an S/PDIF digital audio connector
for optical cable. The five universal jacks can be used for more than one purpose. For
example, the blue jack on the computer can be a stereo in jack or a stereo out jack. For
more information on how each jack can be used, see
“Back” on page 10 . To use the
universal audio jacks for something other than the default audio device, you need to
configure them.
To configure the universal audio jacks:
1
Connect your audio device(s) to the computer audio jack(s).
2
Click Start , then click Control Panel . The Control Panel window opens. If your Control
Panel is in Category View, click Sounds, Speech, and Audio Devices . Click/Double-click
Sounds and Audio Devices , then click Advanced under Speaker Settings. The Advanced
Audio Properties dialog box opens.
-OR-
If your computer has the Realtek Sound Effect Manager installed, double-click the
Sound Effect Manager icon
on the taskbar. The Realtek dialog box opens.
3
Configure the audio jacks for your speaker setup.
