Using the Microphone

Your PC comes with a microphone connector on the back of the PC.

The microphone connector is pink and is labeled with a microphone icon.

It is already set up to work as soon as you plug in your microphone.

Using the Headphones

You can connect headphones to Line out-1 (lime green) on the back of the PC, to the 2.1 speaker system, or to the 5.1 speaker system.

For the 2.1 speaker system, look for the headphones connector on the right side of the main speaker. When headphones are plugged in, the sound to the speakers and the subwoofer is muted.

For the 5.1 speaker system, look for the headphones connector on the right side of the control tower. If the control tower displays HP, the headphones are enabled; the sound to the speakers and the subwoofer is muted. Push and hold the On button on the control tower for several seconds to enable sound from the speakers. Press the On button briefly to enable the headphones.
