Configuring Speaker and Sound Options
There are three steps to setting up sound on the PC:
1Connecting the speakers.
2Configuring the sound software.
3Configuring sound for the media software program.
Compaq PCs support many different audio options, sound connections, and speaker configurations. This chapter describes the most typical options. Your system may have different components.
NOTE: For additional information on connecting the speakers, refer to the setup poster that came with the PC and the documentation that came with your speakers.
Step 1: Connecting the speakers
Sound connector types
Your model may include one of three analog sound connector types on the back of your PC:

Your system may also have a separate Digital Out connection (select models only).
Software configuration is different for each connector type, as noted in the instructions.
