Configuring the audio jacks
If the back of your computer has five audio jacks, they are universal jacks. This means that they
can be used for more than one purpose. For example, the blue jack on the computer can be a
stereo in jack or a stereo out jack. For more information on how each jack can be used, see your
hardware reference. To use the audio jacks for something other than the default audio device,
you need to configure the audio jacks.
To configure the audio jacks:
1
Connect your audio device(s) to the computer audio jack(s).
2
Click ( Start ), then click
Control Panel
. The Control Panel window opens.
3
Click Hardware and Sound , Sound , the Playback tab, then click Configure .
-OR-
If your computer has the Realtek Sound Effect Manager installed, double-click the Sound
Effect Manager icon
on the taskbar. The Realtek dialog box opens.
4
Follow the on-screen instructions to configure the audio jacks for your speaker setup.
Installing a printer, scanner, or other device
Your computer has one or more of the following ports: IEEE 1394 (also known as Firewire
®
or
i.Link
®
), Universal Serial Bus (USB), serial, and parallel. You use these ports to connect peripheral
devices such as printers, scanners, and digital cameras to your computer. For more information
about port locations, see your hardware reference.
IEEE 1394 and USB ports support
plug-and-play and hot-swapping , which means that your
computer will usually recognize such a device whenever you plug it into the appropriate port.
When you use an IEEE 1394 or USB device for the first time, your computer will prompt you to
install any software the device needs. After doing this, you can disconnect and reconnect the
device at any time.
Parallel and serial port devices are not plug-and-play. See the device documentation for detailed
information and installation instructions.
