Getting Started Guide
Using a 5.1 to 7.1 speaker system with
headphones
For select models that include a 5.1 or higher speaker system, a headphones
connector is located on the right side of the control tower.
If the control tower displays HP (for headphones), the headphones are enabled; the
sound to the speakers and the subwoofer is muted.
• Push and hold the On button on the control tower for several seconds to enable
sound from the speakers.
• Press the On button briefly to enable the headphones.
Selecting recording devices
(Type 6 connectors only)
To select a sound recording device:
1 Click Start on the taskbar.
2 Choose Control Panel.
3 Click Sounds and Audio Devices (or Sounds, Speech, and Audio
Devices). The Sounds and Audio Devices window opens.
4 Click the Audio tab. The window opens.
5 In Sound Recording, select a recording device; for example, Realtek HD Front
Pink Jack.
6 Click OK.
7 Close the window.
Resolving Sound Issues
If you don't have sound from your speakers, check the following:
• Check volume and mute settings. See "Using Headphones" on page 47.
• Use active, powered speakers, or speakers with an amplifier.
• Verify cable connections.
• Make sure the software program and sound software are configured.
• Some programs may result in low volume, even when the Volume knob is turned
to the maximum position. If this is the case, double-click the Volume icon on
the taskbar, and increase the volume.
• Reconfigure the sound software for surround sound.
• Reinstall the sound card drivers by using HP Application Recovery. See
"Application Recovery" in the PC Troubleshooting and Maintenance Guide.
