Configuring the audio jacks
The five audio jacks on the side of your computer are universal jacks. This means
that they can be used for more than one purpose. For example, the blue jack
can be a stereo in jack or a stereo out jack. For more information on how each
jack can be used, see your Hardware Reference. To use the audio jacks for
something other than the default audio device, you need to configure the audio
jacks.
