To connect an audio device

You can plug in an external microphone, external speakers, or headphones. In addition, if
you connect your computer to the port replicator, you can plug in a stereo source (such as
a CD player) or a device that accepts digital audio (such as a digital audio recorder).
The headphone and line-in jacks are three-terminal stereo jacks. They are not
compatible with two-terminal mono plugs. Connecting a mono plug into either of
these jacks may damage the computer.
• Attach the audio cable to the corresponding audio port on the computer or port
replicator.
1. Audio out (headphones).
2. External microphone.
When you plug a device into the headphone port, the built-in speakers automatically
turn off. When you plug a device into either audio port on the computer, any device
connected to the corresponding port on the port replicator is ignored.
