Audio

Your computer includes 16-bit high-fidelity stereo audio. The dual speakers, located near the front of the computer, direct sound towards you to further enhance sound output and quality.

There are audio ports on the left side of the computer. See “Left view” on page 5 for the location and description of these ports. For information on how to connect external audio devices to these ports, see “Audio devices” on page 45.

Adjusting the volume

Use the volume control slider to adjust the volume. Slide the switch towards you to decrease the volume; slide it away from you to increase the volume.
