+  <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 ino 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 your name in the top bar and select <gui>System Settings</gui>, then click
+  <gui>Sound</gui>. On the <gui>Hardware</gui> tab, select your speakers in the list
+  of devices, then click <gui>Test Speakers</gui>. In the popup 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>
