Connecting Speakers or Microphones

Speakers are available separately, or may be included with the monitor (select models only). Headphones and microphones are available separately.

Your computer model may include audio connectors on the back of the computer. Some computers also have connectors on the front of the computer. Audio connectors are stereo mini-jacks that connect from the computer to active (powered) speakers or speaker systems, to headphones, or to an input device such as a microphone, webcam, or audio player.

Some, but not all, audio connectors that may be on the computer appear in the following table.

NOTE: The location, availability, and number of connectors on the computer may vary.

Connecting speakers
