Apple Workgroup Server 9150/120 - Manual (Page 139)

Follow these steps to direct the server’s sound to an output device:
1 If you want to use an external device for sound output, connect it to the sound output port,
following the instructions given earlier in “Connecting an Audio Device.”
2 Open the Sound control panel and choose Sound Out in the pop-up menu.
The Sound control panel is in the Control Panels folder in the Apple (K) menu.
3 Click the icon that represents the source of sound output.
About the sample rate: Most of the time you will not need to change the sample
rate. Use the Rate pop-up menu to change the sample rate only if the sound
you wish to play was recorded at a sample rate different from the current setting.
For instance, if you play a QuickTime movie containing sound recorded at
44.1 kHz, set the sample rate in the Rate pop-up menu to 44.1 to hear the full
quality of the sound. Increasing the sample rate slows performance.
m Do not set the sample rate higher than the sample rate of the sound you are
playing, since this slows your server’s performance without improving
sound quality.
m Do not change the sample rate if the Play-Through option is selected.
m Do not change the sample rate for sound coming from a device connected
to the sound input port.
The other options cannot be changed. If you use a program that provides sound
recording in mono format, you can use its mono setting.
4 Close the Sound control panel.
