Connecting Speakers and Other Audio Devices

You can connect external speakers, headphones, 5.1 surround systems, and other
sound output devices to the headphone (f ) port. The headphone port is also an
S/PDIF stereo 3.5 mini-phono jack. When devices are plugged in, sound won’t come
through your built-in speakers. Unplug any headphones or speakers to hear the
computer speakers.
