Using Speakers

Speakers are included with the monitor (select models only) or are sold separately. Your PC supports only an active (powered) speaker system; the speaker system must have its own power cord.

NOTE: A stereo speaker set is a left-right, two-channel speaker system. A multichannel audio speaker system is a system with more than two channels, and it may include a subwoofer. For example, 7.1 channels, referred to as an eight-speaker mode, uses two front speakers (left-right), two side speakers (left-right), two rear speakers (left-right), a center speaker, and a subwoofer.

The PC supports a variety of sound options and speaker configurations. You may set up your PC for two stereo speakers or for multichannel audio speaker systems.
