Setting up the sound system

The exact setup procedure depends on your audio equipment and your operating system, but basically, setting up a sound system can be divided into three phases:

• Phase 1: Plug the microphone in the audio input port of your computer (usually it is the red plug of your sound card). If you have a USB microphone, plug it into any available USB port.
• Phase 2: Check out the audio options of your operating system (see the following screenshot):

2. Use the Audio | Settings menu item to open the Audio Settings dialog.
3. Open the Audio input Devices drop-down list and select your microphone...
