Configuring the audio jacks
If the back of your computer has six audio jacks, five of the jacks are universal jacks (which
use a round mini-jack connector) and one of the jacks is an S/PDIF digital audio connector
for optical cable. The five universal jacks 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

universal audio jacks for something other than the default audio device, you need to
configure them.
