5.2 Troubleshooting audio problems
Problem:
When you connect the headphones to the front audio output connector,
the speakers connected to the back audio output connector are silenced.
Troubleshooting and problem resolution:
The front audio output connector is provided for convenience and has a priority
higher than the back audio output connector. If a speaker or headphones are
connected to the front audio output connector, sound is delivered through those
devices and any devices connected to the rear connector become silenced.
