Using audio features

Your computer has an integrated audio controller. The audio controller provides
you with the ability to record and play back sound and music and to enjoy sound
with multimedia applications. Additionally, you can connect stereo speakers to
the line-out connector to enjoy better sound with multimedia applications.
The audio connectors in your computer are 3.5 mm (1/8-in.) mini-jacks. A
description of the connectors follows. (For the location of the connectors, see
"Cable connections and switch settings" on page 6.)

Line/Headphone out

This jack is used to send audio signals from the computer to external devices,
such as powered stereo speakers with built-in amplifiers, headphones,
multimedia keyboards, or the audio line-in jack on a stereo system.

Audio line in

This jack is used to accept audio signals from external devices (such as line
output from a stereo, television, or musical instrument) into the computer sound
system.
