Audio System

Your workstation has an integrated audio solution that supports
analog or digital external stereo speakers. The system is capable of
autosensing the speaker type and outputting the correct signal.
The autosensing is done by detecting if there is a mono jack
plugged into the line-out connector.
If you are using a set of digital speakers that have a stereo jack, and
you want the system to auto-switch to digital, you will need to use
a stereo-to-mono adapter to get the autosensing to work. However, if
you do not have a stereo-to-mono adapter present, then you can
manually switch the audio signal from analog to digital. See
"Solving Audio Problems" in the Troubleshooting Guide on the
Documentation Library CD for instructions on how to manually
switch the audio signal for your operating system.
If you are using a headphone set that is mono, the system will attempt
to switch to digital and you will experience "noise" or "silence."
This can be fixed by manually switching the signal to analog.
See "Solving Audio Problems" in the Troubleshooting Guide on
the Documentation Library CD for instructions on how to manually
switch the audio signal for your operating system.
If your analog speakers or headphones are not working, make sure
you are not using a mono adapter with autosensing enabled.
