Recording Sounds - Toshiba Satellite R10 User Manual

Your computer is equipped with a sound system with an
internal speaker. Instead of using the internal speaker, you
can connect headphones or a pair of external stereo speakers.
To play back sound files through headphones or external
speakers:
1 Locate the headphone jack on the front of the computer.
2 Using any necessary adapters, plug the cable from the
headphones or external speakers into the headphone jack.
The headphone jack requires a 16-ohm stereo mini jack.
To adjust the volume:
❖
For external speakers, use the volume controls on the
speakers.
❖
For headphones, use the computer's volume control dial.

Recording sounds

An external microphone may be used with other software to
record monaural audio sounds and save them as digital audio
.WAV files on disk.
You may also record sounds as .WAV files by connecting
other sound sources to the microphone jack.
TECHNICAL NOTE: Use amplified speakers that require an
external power source. Other types of speakers will be
inadequate to produce sound from the computer.
DEFINITION: A .WAV (pronounced "wave") file is one of the
formats for storing sound in files.
