Audio The computer has a variety of audio features that allow you to: ● Play music using the computer speakers and/or connected external speakers. ● Record sound using the internal microphone or a connected external microphone. ● Download music from the Internet. ● Create multimedia presentations using audio and images. ● Transmit sound and images with instant messaging programs. ● Stream radio programs (select models only) or receiving FM radio signals. ● Create or "burn" audio CDs. Connecting external audio devices WARNING! To reduce the risk of personal injury, adjust the volume before putting on headphones, earbuds, or a headset. For additional safety information, see the Regulatory, Safety and Environmental Notices. To connect external devices such as external speakers, headphone, or a microphone, see the information provided with the device. For best results: ● Be sure that the device cable is securely connected to the correct jack on the computer. Cable connectors are normally color-coded to match the corresponding jacks on the computer. ● Be sure that you install all drivers required by the external device.
