Using the Audio Wizard in the Sound Effect Manager (6-connector)
When you click the Audio Wizard button, a window opens that shows the three audio connectors on the front of the PC.
NOTE: The connectors on the front of your PC may be of a different type or may be in a different arrangement; look for the connector icon and color.
Connector | Name | Icon | Color |
A | Audio Line In | | Light blue |
B | Microphone | | Pink |

Retasking using the Audio Wizard (6-connector)
With the Audio Wizard enabled, both the microphone connector (B) and the headphones connector (C) on the front of the PC can be retasked to perform a different audio function. These two connectors are universal audio jacks. When you plug in a cable, the wizard asks you to select the function for the cable from a list, and then it sets the universal audio jack to perform the selected function. The functions are:
•Stereo speaker (out)
•Microphone (in)
•Headphone (out)
•Audio line in
