For applications that can record sounds, such as iMovie HD, use the Sound pane of System Preferences to select the audio input device you want to use, including microphones connected through USB.

The volume controls on your keyboard allow you to easily adjust the output volume. You can also adjust both the input and output volume from the Sound pane of System Preferences.

For more information about using or troubleshooting sound on your computer, choose Help > Mac Help and search for “sound.”

Using Your Optical Drive

Your MacBook includes an optical drive—either a Combo drive or a SuperDrive.

With your optical drive, you can:

ÂInstall or use software from CDs and DVDs.

ÂPlay music and multimedia files from CDs.

ÂWrite music, documents, and other digital files to CD-R and CD-RW discs.

ÂPlay DVD movies and read most DVD discs.

If you have a SuperDrive, you can also record information on blank DVD±R and DVD±RW discs.

Important: The optical drive on your MacBook supports standard circular 12 cm discs. Irregularly shaped discs or discs smaller than 12 cm are not supported. These types of discs can become lodged in the drive.
