Sound Modes
Your computer is designed to run on two different sound modes—stereo and 5.1 surround sound.
Stereo Sound Mode
Your computer ships with stereo sound mode as the default. For this mode, the computer is equipped
with two different headphone connectors and a microphone/line-in connector at the front of the
computer. You can simultaneously use two sets of headphones or other sound output devices and a
microphone or other sound input device.
5.1 Surround Sound Mode
To switch to 5.1 surround sound mode, you need to connect a speaker’s three differently colored cable
connectors—green, yellow, and black—to the headphone and microphone connectors at the front of the
computer.
NOTE:
You must connect the speaker’s black cable connector first or the 5.1 surround sound mode does not work.
1 Connect the speaker’s black cable connector to the microphone/line-in connector at the front of the
computer.
A pop-up menu appears, giving the status of which connectors are plugged in to each jack.
