In order to make the most of all the possibilities of modern computer technology, as well as communicate using a variety of Internet programs, you must connect headphones to your computer. Ideally they should be combined with a microphone.
Necessary
- - computer;
- - headphones;
- - sound card.
Instructions
Step 1
Before buying and connecting headphones, you must figure out if your computer has a sound card, that is, the device that is responsible for input and output of sound. Please note that this device is built into the motherboard, and can also be installed in a separate slot of the computer's system unit. In the absence of a sound card, you need to install it, as well as install all the drivers necessary for its correct functioning. It is not at all necessary to buy an overly expensive device. The most important thing is that it has the right connectors to which headphones are connected. Please consult with the experts in the respective store.
Step 2
Using the instructions that come with your sound card, determine which of the connectors on it are intended for headphones, a microphone, or other devices. Typically, the jacks are color-coded to make it easier to plug in the correct jack. Take your headphones and gently insert the jack into the corresponding jack. Note that it must be pushed into the slot all the way.
Step 3
After that, turn on your computer and using the "Start" menu, go to the "Control Panel" submenu. There, select the settings for the sound devices of the computer. Once you're familiar with the customization options, adjust the volume, as well as a number of other sound settings. By listening to new headphones, you can achieve the best possible sound performance.
Step 4
After the headphones are ready for use, install non-computer music players to listen to audio files, as well as those programs that allow you to communicate freely with Internet users anywhere in the world. Today the most popular programs are Skype, GoogleTalk and others.
