Microphone Jack

The microphone jack supports a single sound channel (monaural)
microphone with a 3.5-mm plug.
A powered electret condenser microphone is recommended.
Other types of microphones, such as stereo or dynamic, are not
recommended. A stereo microphone will record the left channel
on both the left and right channels. A dynamic microphone lacks
the recommended sensitivity.
When an external microphone is connected to the computer, the
computer's internal microphone is disabled.

The stereo speaker/headphone jack supports external stereo
speakers, headphones, or a headset. External speakers can provide
more separation for the left and right audio channels, more
volume, and higher quality sound.
Use only a 3.5-mm stereo plug. For best sound quality,
headphones should be 32 ohms, and external speakers should be
at least 8 ohms.

connected to the computer, the computer's internal speakers
