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 33.
