Shortcut

Start Ö Control Panel Ö Sounds and Audio Devices Ö Advanced

If the back of your computer has five audio jacks, they are universal jacks. This means that they can be used for more than one purpose. For example, the blue jack on the computer can be a stereo in jack or a stereo out jack. For more information on how each jack can be used, see your hardware reference. To use the audio jacks for something other than the default audio device, you need to configure the audio jacks.

To configure the audio jacks:

1Connect your audio device(s) to the computer audio jack(s).

2Click Start, then click Control Panel. The Control Panel window opens.

3Click Sounds, Speech, and Audio Devices or Sounds and Audio Devices, then click Advanced under Speaker Settings. The Advanced Audio Properties dialog box opens.

-OR-

If your computer has the Realtek Sound Effect Manager installed,

double-click the Sound Effect Manager icon on the taskbar. The Realtek dialog box opens.

4Configure the audio jacks for your speaker setup.
