About your computer audio

If a factory-installed, high-performance audio adapter is installed in your computer, the system-board
audio connectors on the rear of the computer are typically disabled; use the connectors provided on the
audio adapter.

Each audio solution provides at least three audio connectors: audio line-in connector, audio line-out
connector, and Microphone connector. The audio adapter provides you with the ability to record and
play back sound and music, as well as to enjoy sound with multimedia applications and work with
speech-recognition software.

Optionally, you can connect a set of powered stereo speakers to the audio line-out connector to enjoy
better sound with multimedia applications.
