About your computer’s sound ports
Your Macintosh can play and record stereo sound from a variety of sources.
To provide or reproduce stereo sound, you can connect audio devices to the
sound input and output ports on the computer. If you have an internal
CD-ROM drive, you can also use it to play and record sound from audio
compact discs (CDs).
The sound input port is identified with an icon of a microphone. The sound
output port is identified with an icon of a speaker.
The computer’s sound ports accept an audio connector known as a stereo
miniplug. This connector is the type used on headphones for a personal tape
player, for example. If your equipment uses a different type of connector, you
can purchase an adapter at an electronics supply store.
