Configuring audio ports (Line out/Microphone)

You can playback or record audio either through the Slim Port Replicator

III’s audio ports or the docked computer’s audio ports. However, you cannot

use the audio ports on the docked computer and on the Slim Port

Replicator III at the same time.
By default, the audio ports on the port replicator are automatically enabled

each time you dock the computer. When you undock the computer, the

audio ports on the computer are automatically re-enabled.
To change the default settings, you may need to manually adjust the audio
settings in Windows

®

, as described in this section.

When the computer is exchanging data with the LAN, the LAN Active

indicator glows orange. When the computer is connected to a LAN hub but

is not exchanging data, the Link indicator glows green.

NOTE

If your media player is running when you undock or dock, you must close

the application and wait approximately 10-15 seconds for the new settings

to take effect before restarting the application.

NOTE

Audio devices connected to the port replicator via the 3.5 mm audio jacks
will appear as USB Multimedia Audio Devices in Windows

®

although they

are not connected to a USB port. This does not affect the operation of the

devices.

NOTE

When your computer is docked in the port replicator, SPDIF and Line in
ports may display in Windows

®

audio properties dialog boxes. These ports

should appear as “Currently unavailable” and are actually not provided by

the Slim Port Replicator III.
