Connecting Speakers and Other Devices
After installing the sound board, you can connect speakers,
headphones, and other devices to your computer’s rear panel as shown
below. Some models of computers also have a front panel with a
headphones socket and a volume control. (Do not use the headphones
socket on the CD-ROM drive, however, as this lets you hear output only
from music CDs; through the panel socket you will hear sounds from
training presentations, MIDI music files, and all other audio software.)
WARNING If your PC is multimedia or if you add a sound card to your PC ,always turn
the volume down before connecting headphones or speakers, to avoid
discomfort from unexpected noise or static. Listening to sounds for
prolonged periods of time may permantly damage your hearing. Before
putting on headphones, place them around your neck and turn the volume
down. When you put on the headphones, slowly increase the volume until
you find a comfortable listening level. When you hear comfortably and
clearly, without distortion, leave the volume control in that position.
