Speakers are included with the monitor (select models only), or are sold 
separately. For details on connecting stereo speakers to the PC, see the quick 
setup poster. 

 Speakers may be passive (no power button and no power cable) or active 

(power button or power cable). Your PC supports only active (powered) speaker 
systems; the speaker system must have its own power cable. 
A stereo speaker set is a left-right, 2-channel speaker system. A multi-channel audio 
speaker system is a system with more than two channels, and may include a 
subwoofer. For example, 5.1 channels, referred to as a 6-speaker mode, uses two 
front speakers (left-right), two rear speakers (left-right), a centre speaker, and a 
subwoofer. 

If your PC has multi-channel audio speaker capacity (select models only), you 
can connect four channels for four speakers output or six channels for 5.1 
speakers output. 

Connect your speaker system to the PC and then configure the audio software 
for sound output. Refer to “connecting a multi-channel speaker system to your 
pc” on page 42. 

Use the Volume icon on the taskbar to set speaker volume. Then you 
can adjust the volume using: 

• 

The volume knob or buttons on the keyboard (select models only). 

• 

The volume knob on the speakers (select models only). 

 

 If you do not see this Volume icon on the taskbar, click Start, choose 

, click Sounds, Speech, and Audio Devices, if it is present, and 

then double-click Sounds and Audio Devices to open the Sounds and Audio 
Devices Properties window. On the Volume tab, place a tick in the Place volume 
icon in the taskbar tick box. Click Apply, and then click OK. The Volume icon 
appears in the taskbar.
