Using the microphone with the Multi-Channel Sound
Manager (3-connector)
The 3-connector multi-channel speaker system (select models only) connects to the
PC using the Microphone, Audio (Line) In, and Audio (Line) Out connectors on the
back of the PC. Your PC may have a second microphone connector on the front of
the PC. If present, this microphone connector is ready to use and does not affect the
use of the multi-channel audio speaker system.
To use the microphone connector on the back of the PC with a 3-connector multi-
channel audio speaker system, you must disconnect the cables for the multi-channel
speakers and change the audio configuration to a two-channel audio system. Refer
to "Configuring the Multi-Channel Sound Manager (3-connector)" on page 17 to set
the audio configuration.
