Setting up Analog/Digital Audio Output

Some computers or workstations may have an integrated audio solution that supports analog or digital external stereo speakers. These systems are capable of auto-sensing the speaker type and outputting the correct signal. To manually change between analog, digital and auto-sense, complete the following set of procedures based on your operating system.

If you set digital as your Output Mode, the internal speaker and external analog speakers will no longer output audio until you switch back to an auto-sense or analog mode. If you set analog as your Output Mode, external digital speakers will not function until you change the output mode back to an auto-sense or digital mode.
