using the microphone with multi-channel audio

The multi-channel speaker system (select models only) connects to the PC using the Microphone, Audio (Line) In, and Audio (Line) Out connectors on the back of the PC. Your PC may have a second microphone on the front of the PC. If present, this microphone is ready to use and does not affect the use of the multi-channel audio speaker system.

To use the microphone connector on the back of the PC with a multi-channel audio speaker system, you must disconnect the cables for the multi-channel speakers and change the audio configuration to a 2-channel audio system. Refer to “configuring the multi-channel sound manager“ on page 43 to set the audio configuration.
