To connect an audio device

Your computer includes a built-in microphone (just in front of the blue sleep button) that
you can use to record voice, sound, and music. You can also plug in an external
microphone, external speakers, or headphones. If your model has an audio input port, you
can connect a stereo input source (such as a CD player).
The audio jacks are three-terminal stereo jacks. They are not compatible with two-
terminal mono plugs. Connecting a mono plug into the speaker-out jack may
damage the computer.
• Attach the audio cable to the corresponding audio port on the computer.
When you plug a device into the external microphone port, the built-in microphone
automatically turns off. When you plug a device into the audio out port, the built-in
speakers automatically turn off.
