| If you want to rock out in private, you can plug headphones into the back of your computer. On a PC, the jack where you plug them in will be labeled Line Out, Audio Out, or a similar term. On a Mac, the jack will be labeled with the little speaker symbol (and might also be on a PC). If you're in the market for a new set of headphones, make sure you get a pair with a long cord (4 to 6 feet, or 1 to 2 meters). Otherwise, you'll have to sit awful close to your computer.

As noted in Step 1, the sound icon isn't always visible in your control bar or taskbar. But making it appear is easy. In Windows, the Multimedia control panel has a checkbox titled "Show volume control on the taskbar." Check the box, then close the menu by clicking OK. The icon should appear in the lower right of your screen. On a Mac, you'll add the sound control to the control bar by dragging the Sound control strip module onto the control strip, then releasing it. To find the module, use your computer's "find" function (shortcut: click on the desktop, then press the command and "F" keys simultaneously). Type the words "sound volume" into the search field and press the return key. You can be sure you've found the right item by looking under the column that describes file type--it will be a "control strip module." -end-  Learn More! All steps at once (printable version) |
