system. When you attach an external audio device, a cable is connected between
the audio line-out connector of the device and the audio line-in connector of the
computer.
Audio line-out connector
Used to send audio signals from the computer to external devices, such as
powered stereo speakers (speakers with built-in ampliers), headphones,
multimedia keyboards, or the audio line-in connector on a stereo system or other
external recording device.
