Using the Microphone Jack
Your notebook is equipped with a stereo microphone jack. Using
sound recording application software and an external, stereo
microphone allows for stereo (dual channel) recordings and
stereo playbacks. Using sound recording application software and
an external, monoaural microphone allows for only monoaural
(single channel) recordings and stereo playbacks. As a result, the
sound will be the same on both left and right channels.
When connecting a microphone to the microphone jack, use a
microphone with a 3.5-mm plug.
