Using Internal and External
Speakers/Headphones
External speakers:
■ Provide more separation for the left and right audio channels.
■ Produce more volume with amplified speakers.
■ Produce higher quality sound.
CAUTION: Use only a 3.5-mm stereo plug in the stereo
speaker/headphone jack. A mono plug can result in damage to the
computer.
The internal stereo speakers are disabled when external speakers
or headphones are connected to the speaker/headphone line-out
jack.
!
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury to hearing, check
the volume level of software applications before you put on
headphones.
Controlling Audio Volume
Audio volume control affects the stereo speakers, headphones,
and external speakers that are connected to the stereo
speaker/headphone jack.
There are three ways to control the audio volume:
■ Using volume control buttons on the front of the computer.
The right button increases the volume. The left button
decreases the volume. To mute sound completely, press both
volume buttons simultaneously.
■ Using volume control features available under the Audio tab
in Multimedia Properties.
■ Using the Fn+F5 hotkeys (adjusts only the volume of system
warning beeps).
Some software applications, such as game programs, include their
own volume controls. You may need to use the software to adjust
volume to the desired sound level.
