<title>Use different speakers or headphones</title>
<p>You can use external speakers or headphones with your computer. Speakers
usually either connect using a circular TRS (<em>tip, ring, sleeve</em>) plug
or with USB.</p>
<p>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. Look for a picture of headphones next to the socket.
Speakers or headphones plugged into a TRS socket will usually be used by default.
If not, see the instructions below for selecting the default device.</p>
<p>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.
Click the <gui>sound menu</gui> on the <gui>menu bar</gui> then click
<gui>Sound Settings</gui>. Select your speakers in the list
of devices, then click <gui>Test Sound</gui>. In the pop-up window, click the
button for each speaker. Each button will speak its position only to the channel
corresponding to that speaker.</p>
<p>If you have USB speakers or headphones, or analog headphones plugged
into a USB sound card, plug them into any USB port. USB speakers act as
separate audio devices, and you may have to specify which speakers to
use by default.</p>
