Selecting a microphone

Your computer comes with one microphone connector on the back of the computer. Some models have a second microphone connector on the front of the computer. Only one microphone connector works at a time, and the back connector is ready to use unless you have the multichannel audio speakers option. For computers with the multichannel audio speakers option, the microphone connector on the front of the computer, if it is present, is ready to use.

To use a microphone connected to the front of your computer (select models only), select the working microphone:

NOTE: If you connect your microphone to the back of your computer, you do not need to perform this procedure.

1Right-click the white Microsoft Volume icon on the taskbar, and then click Recording Devices. The Sound window opens.

2Select the Recording tab.

3Double-click Microphone, and select the General tab.

4Click the microphone connector that you want to use, and then click Apply.

5Click OK.
