Sound System
*Important - Sound can be controlled by keyboard and physical buttons. However, users wanting to use the ceiling microphone and having proper sound quality and control, need a USB-C to USB-A adapter. You will need to plug in the green-tagged cable with the USB adapter first and then plug in the red-tagged cable. Failure to do so will result in a black screen being displayed on the projector.
These adapters are available at the Technology Services Desk.
Once connected with the red-tagged cable with the USB-C adapter, you will need to verify the sound source is set to Interact COM.
- Click on the Sound icon on the taskbar or type Sound in the search bar on the task and press Enter.
- Verify that the Output device is set to Speakers (any number - Interact COM).
