Audio devices

Your computer offers built-in stereo speakers. See the section entitled “Audio” on page 26 for more information on these features. However, in addition to the integrated devices, the two audio ports on the rear side of the unit enable you to connect external audio input and output devices.

You can plug an external microphone into your computer's microphone-in jack. This offers the convenience of greater freedom of movement, as well as improved audio input quality.

Connect headphones to the headphone jack for private listening and improved audio output quality.
