Configuring the audio jacks
If the back of your computer has five audio jacks,
they are universal jacks. This means that they can
be used for more than one purpose. For
example, the blue jack on the computer can be
a stereo in jack or a stereo out jack. For more
information on how each jack can be used, see
your online user guide. To use the audio jacks for
something other than the default audio device,
you need to configure the audio jacks.
