Using Audio Devices

Your iMac comes with built-in stereo speakers, a headphone out/optical digital audio out (f ) port, and an audio in/optical digital audio in (,) port.

Headphone Out/Optical Digital Audio Out Port

You can connect external powered speakers, headphones, 5.1 surround systems, and other sound output devices to the headphone out/optical digital audio out (f ) port. The headphone port is also a S/PDIF stereo 3.5 mini-phono jack. When you plug a pair of headphones or another device into the mini-phono jack, sound comes through the device instead of the iMac speakers. You can also play music through your home stereo with iTunes and an AirPort Express Base Station.
