Connecting External Speakers or Headphones
You can connect external sound output devices (not supplied), such as speakers or headphones, to your computer.

you can connect an S/PDIF device such as digital headphones or an audio/video amplifier to the jack and enhance the sound
quality of your computer. For more information, see the manual that came with your S/PDIF device.

To hear sound from the S/PDIF device connected to the headphones/
