Outstanding Sound

Whether you’re playing music, watching a video, or listening to voicemail through your PC, you want a high-quality sound experience. With improved sound management features in Windows 7, you’ll get great sound for both entertainment and communications. For instance, Windows 7 automatically routes sounds—such as music, calls, and Windows sounds—to the right devices. The new HDMI feature means you can stream mono, stereo, or multichannel, high-definition audio and video using a single HDMI cable. Windows automatically detects the capabilities of the device and adjusts the sound settings for the right format and number of speakers.
