Configuring Speaker and Sound Options

Speakers are included with the monitor (select models only), or they are sold separately. For details about connecting stereo speakers to the computer, see the setup poster. For details about connecting multichannel speakers, see “Connecting Speakers or Microphone.”

NOTE: Speakers may be passive (no power button or power cord) or active (power button or power cord). Your computer supports only active (powered) speaker systems; the speaker system must have its own power cord.

Astereo speaker set is a left-right, two-channel speaker system. A multichannel audio speaker system is a system with more than two channels, and it may include a subwoofer. For example, a 5.1 channel speaker system, referred to as six-speaker mode, uses two front speakers (left-right), two rear speakers (left-right), a center speaker, and a subwoofer.

If your computer has multichannel audio speaker capacity (select models only), you can connect four channels for four-speaker output, or six channels for 5.1 speaker output.

Your model may include one of three analog sound connector types on the back of the computer:

￿Three connectors (Realtek Audio)

￿Six connectors (Realtek Audio)

￿Audio sound card (Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi and X-Fi Fatality, or Analog Devices, Inc (ADI))

Your system may also have a separate Digital Out connector (select models only).

See “Connecting Speakers or Microphone” for more information about connecting your speaker system, and then configure the audio software for sound output as described in this section.
