Retasking front-panel connectors with Sound Effect
Manager
With the Audio Wizard enabled, both the microphone connector and the
headphones connector on the front of the PC can be retasked to perform a different
audio function. These two connectors are universal audio jacks. When you plug in a
cable, the wizard asks you to select the function for the cable from a list, and then it
sets the universal audio jack to perform as the selected function. The functions are:
• Stereo Speaker (Out)
• Microphone (In)
• Headphone (In)
• Audio Line In

Sound Effect Manager” on page 38.

plugged in from a list.
