3If you select Sound Input Port, select a Sound Input Port Gain setting.

Gain affects sound quality when you record or play sound. If you’re using an

external CD player, tape player, or a similar device, set the gain to 0 dB

(called Line Level on some AppleVision monitors) for best results.

Note: If you set the gain to -10 dB or 0 dB (called Line Level on some

AppleVision monitors), or you connect a PlainTalk microphone to the

monitor’s input port, sound is sent to the computer instead of being played

directly on the monitor speakers.

4Close the Monitors & Sound control panel.

Note: Settings in the Monitor Sound window of the control panel only

control sound options for your monitor. You might also need to adjust your

computer’s sound options to get the results you want. Adjust the computer

sound options in the Sound window of the control panel.

Selecting a sound output device

In many cases, any sound coming from the computer (from an internal

CD-ROM drive, for example) automatically goes to the computer’s internal

speakers and sound output port. In this case you won’t have to adjust any

settings to hear sound on the AppleVision monitor’s speakers. The

instructions that follow tell you how to use the AppleVision speakers in cases

where sound isn’t automatically routed.
