Setting up audio
Dell computers and tablets have built-in speakers that support 2‑channel audio. To use the built-in speakers, play the media and set the volume to your desired level.
Dell computers and tablets also support a 3.5 mm audio port allowing you to connect external speakers. If you are setting up 2‑channel audio, connect the speakers to the 3.5 mm headphone port or the audio port.
Dell desktops may support 5.1 or 7.1 audio. If you are setting up 5.1 or 7.1 audio, you must connect the speakers to the appropriate ports for best audio output.
NOTE: For more information on the ports available on your computer or tablet, see the Quick Start Guide shipped with your computer or see the Setup and Specifications at www.dell.com/support.
NOTE: For best results, place the speakers as specified in the documents shipped with your speakers.
NOTE: On computers with a discrete sound card, connect the speakers to the connectors on the card.
