Configuring Speaker and Sound Options

HP PCs support many different audio options, sound connections, and speaker configurations. You may set up your PC for two stereo speakers or for multichannel audio speaker systems. Connect your speaker system to the PC, and then configure the audio software for sound output. For more details about connecting stereo speakers to the PC, see the setup poster.

This chapter describes the most typical options. Your system may have different components.

NOTE: For additional information on connecting the speakers, refer to the setup poster that came with the PC and the documentation that came with your speakers.
