Connecting and enabling digital speakers or an audio receiver
Connect 3.1, 4.1, or 5.1 digital speakers or an audio receiver to the SPDIF line out (orange) connector on the back of the computer behind the connector cover, and then use the following procedure to enable the speakers or audio receiver. If necessary, refer to the instructions that came with your speakers or audio receiver.
NOTE: When SPDIF is connected, you can switch to the internal speakers without unplugging the SPDIF line out.
To enable digital speakers or an audio receiver, use the SoundMax software that came with the computer.
1Tap the SoundMAX icon on the taskbar.
2Tap the Volume button.
3In the SPDIF Interface area, select the Default button.
NOTE: To switch back to the internal speakers after the digital speakers are enabled, select the Default button in the Internal Speakers area. Simply turning off the external speakers does not enable the internal speakers; the internal speaker setting must be selected.
4Configure the sound to your preferences by using the SoundMAX Listening Experience, Recording Experience, and Advanced buttons.
