You can use external speakers or headphones with your computer. Speakers usually either connect using a circular TRS (tip, ring, sleeve) plug or a USB.

If your speakers or headphones have a TRS plug, plug it into the appropriate socket on your computer. Most computers have two sockets: one for microphones and one for speakers. This socket is usually light green in color or is accompanied by a picture of headphones. Speakers or headphones plugged into a TRS socket are usually used by default. If not, see the instructions below for selecting the default device.

Some computers support multi-channel output for surround sound. This usually uses multiple TRS jacks, which are often color-coded. If you are unsure which plugs go in which sockets, you can test the sound output in the sound settings.

Jos käytössäsi on USB-kaiuttimet tai -kuulokkeet, tai analogiset kuulokkeet USB-äänikortiin yhdistettynä, liitä ne mihin tahansa USB-porttiin. USB-kaiuttimet tunnistautuvat erillisinä äänilaitteina, ja niiden valinta oletukseksi saattaa olla tarpeen.

Use the Test button to check that all speakers are working and are connected to the correct socket.
