Note: If you want to play a stereo DVD, repeat these steps (1 through 5) and change the audio properties for WinDVD to match the DVD output.

To use the microphone with multi-channel audio

The multi-channel speaker system connects to the PC using the Microphone, Audio (Line) In, and Audio (Line) Out connectors on the back of the PC.

Your PC may have another microphone connector in the front of the PC under the access door. If present, this microphone connector is ready to use.

To use the back microphone connector, you must disconnect your multi-channel speakers system and select 2 channel audio setup.

To change the audio configuration, see “To configure multi-channel audio output for speakers configuration” on page 28.

Adjusting speaker volume

You can adjust speaker volume by:

■Using the volume knob or buttons on the keyboard.

■Using the volume knob on the speakers (select models only).

■Using the Volume icon on the taskbar.

If you do not see this Volume icon, click Start, Control Panel, Sounds, Speech, and Audio Devices, if it is present, and then double-click Sounds and Audio Devices to open the Sounds and Audio Devices Properties window. On the Volume tab, place a check in the Place volume icon in the taskbar check box. Click Apply, and then click OK. The Volume icon appears in the taskbar.

Note: Some applications may result in low volume, even when the volume knob is turned to its maximum position. If this is the case, double-click the Volume icon on the taskbar and increase the Volume.
