panel. Open the Apple Extras folder on your hard disk and double-click the
Apple Displays Extras folder. Double-click the Sound control panel icon.

m Make sure you have connected the ADB connector to your computer. You

cannot use many of the features of the Apple Displays software without an
ADB connection. See “Connecting the Monitor Cable to a Mac OS–Based
Computer” in Chapter 1 for more information.
