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.
