Recording sounds

The 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 an
external microphone or other sound source 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 the format
for storing sound in files.
