Adjusting the headphone volume

You may be able to plug headphones into the headphone jack on the CD-ROM drive (not available on all systems) or into the line-out jack on the back of the computer’s

system unit. The line-out jack is marked with the icon

On some IBM computers, a headphone jack and a volume control are located on the CD-ROM drive on the front of the computer’s system unit.

The CD-ROM drive in the computer that you purchased may not include all of the lights and controls shown in the following illustration.

Headphone Jack

 

When your headphones are plugged into the headphone jack on the CD-ROM drive, they will pick up only the sound coming from an ordinary audio CD in the CD-ROM drive. The headphones will not pick up other sounds generated from your computer or any external device connected to the computer, such as a MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) keyboard.

When your headphones are plugged into this jack, use the volume control on the CD-ROM drive to adjust the volume of the headphones. This volume control adjusts the volume of the headphones, but not the speakers. If you want to turn the speaker volume down while using the headphones, use the volume control program to do it.
