<title>Use a different microphone</title>
19
<p>You can use an external microphone for chatting with friends, speaking
20
with colleagues at work, making voice recordings, or using other multimedia
21
applications. Even if your computer has a built-in microphone or a webcam
22
with a microphone, a separate microphone usually provides better audio
25
<p>If your microphone has a circular plug, just plug it into the appropriate
26
adapter on your computer. Most computers have two adapters: one for
27
microphones and one for speakers. Look for a picture of a microphone next to
28
the adapter. Microphones plugged into the appropriate adapter will usually
29
be used by default. If not, see the instructions below for selecting a
30
default input device.</p>
32
<p>If you have a USB microphone, plug it into any USB port on your
33
computer. USB microphones act as separate audio devices, and you may
34
have to specify which microphone to use by default.</p>
