Connecting external speakers
You can enhance the sound quality of your computer by connecting external speakers.
To connect external speakers, proceed as follows:
1
Plug the speaker cable (1) into the headphone connector (2).
2
Plug the other end of the speaker cable into the external speaker (3).
3
Turn down the volume of the speakers before you turn them on.
 
Make sure your speakers are designed for computer use.
Do not place floppy disks on the speakers; their magnetic field may damage the data on the disks.
Troubleshooting sound
My speakers are not producing sound
If you use external speakers, check that the speakers are properly connected and the volume is turned 
up. If the speakers have a mute button, make sure it is off. If batteries power the speakers, check that 
the batteries are inserted properly and that they are charged.
If you have connected an audio cable to the headphone connector, disconnect the cable.
