Connecting external speakers or headphones
To attach an external stereo output device:
1Locate the headphone jack near the front of the right side of
the computer.

Programs, Accessories, Entertainment, Volume Control).
To record high-quality sounds, you can attach a microphone:
1Locate the microphone jack near the front of the right side of
the computer.
