About Installing 5.1 Speakers

Your PC may have a sound card with connectors
on the back of the PC for analog and digital
audio outputs (Line out -1, Line out -2, and
Line out -3), a microphone, and an audio input
(Line in). The example illustration below shows a
sound card that includes a game port connector
on the left. If your PC has a sound card with
these connectors, perform the procedures in the
next section.
Some PCs have the multi-channel audio
capability that uses the microphone, Audio (Line)
In, and Audio (Line) Out connectors on the back
of the PC. If your PC has these connectors, you
can connect and install a multi-channel audio
speaker system. To do this, follow the procedures
in the next section.
Installing Multi-channel
Audio Speakers
If your PC has multi-channel speakers capability
(select models only), you can connect speakers
for 4-channel or 6-channel output. You must
connect your speaker system to the PC, and then
configure the audio software for sound output.
Your PC may include the Multi-channel Sound
Manager or the Creative SoundBlaster Audigy
sound manager. Refer to the correct procedure to
configure your multi-channel speakers.
Note:
Multi-channel audio uses the Microphone,
Audio (Line) In, and Audio (Line) Out connectors
on the back of the PC to connect the multi-channel
speakers system to the PC.
