Audio System

Your workstation has an integrated audio solution that supports analog or digital external stereo speakers. The system is capable of autosensing the speaker type and outputting the correct signal. The autosensing is done by detecting if there is a mono jack plugged into the line-out connector.

If you are using a set of digital speakers that have a stereo jack, and you want the system to auto-switch to digital, you will need to use a stereo-to-mono adapter to get the autosensing to work. However, if you do not have a stereo-to-mono adapter present, then you can manually switch the audio signal from analog to digital. See “Solving Audio Problems” in the Troubleshooting Guide on the Reference Library CD for instructions on how to manually switch the audio signal for your operating system.

If you are using a headphone set that is mono, the system will attempt to switch to digital and you will experience “noise” or “silence.” This can be fixed by manually switching the signal to analog. See “Solving Audio Problems” in the Troubleshooting Guide on the Reference Library CD for instructions on how to manually switch the audio signal for your operating system.

If your analog speakers or headphones are not working, make sure that you are not using a mono adapter with autosensing enabled.
