Note: When external-speaker or headphone cables are attached to the audio connector, the internal
speaker, if present, is disabled. In most cases, if an audio adapter is installed in one of the expansion slots,
the audio function built into the system board is disabled; use the audio jacks on the adapter.

information.

If these actions do not correct the problem, run the Lenovo Solution Center program. If you need technical
assistance, see Chapter 11 “Getting information, help, and service” on page 117.
