Connecting Speakers And Other Devices - HP Kayak XA Installation Manual

Connecting Speakers and Other Devices

After installing the sound board, you can connect speakers,
headphones, and other devices to your computer's rear panel as shown
below. Some models of computers also have a front panel with a
headphones socket and a volume control. (Do not use the headphones
socket on the CD-ROM drive, however, as this lets you hear output only
from music CDs; through the panel socket you will hear sounds from
training presentations, MIDI music files, and all other audio software.)
WARNING Before connecting the headphones or speakers, always turn the
volume down, to avoid discomfort from unexpected noise or static.
Listening to loud sounds for prolonged periods of time may
permanently damage your hearing. Before putting on the headphones,
place them around your neck and turn the volume down. When you put
on the headphones, slowly increase the volume until you find a
comfortable listening level. When you can hear comfortably and
clearly, without distortion, leave the volume control in that position.
