Configuring Audio
The system is equipped with an on-board ESS Maestro-2 PCI sound adapter. If the system
has a multimedia keyboard or a microphone and speakers, you can use the operating
system’s Volume Control program to control them. To access Volume Control, double-click
the speaker icon on the task bar.
You can configure the microphone and speaker audio levels by using the Volume Control
utility, available as a speaker icon on the Taskbar. For more information on using the sound
control programs, see the operating system documentation and Help.
