AudioDevices:Dell™Inspiron™7500

You can connect speakers, a microphone, headphones, and record/playback devices such as cassette players, CD players, and VCRs to the

audio connectors on the computer. The connectors are located directly under the PC Card slot. Dell recommends using amplified speakers for the

best sound.

connector in the middle. Connect record/playback devices such as cassette players, CD players, and VCRs to the line-in connector on the left.

See your Microsoft®Windows®98 documentation for the location of sound application programs such as mixers and volume control.

You can control the sound coming from the external speakers and the computer's integrated speakers with the volume control dial. You can also

use the keyboard to adjust the volumes. Press to lower the volume. Press to increase the volume. Press to enable or

disable both the integrated and external speakers.

See Drivers for information about reinstalling the audio drivers. The drivers are located on the Dell Inspiron 7500 System Software CD.
