Which input for speakers on PC?

For most PCs, the correct input for connecting speakers is the green port, which is used for audio output. Here's how it works:

Audio Ports on a PC:

  • Green Port – Audio Output (Speakers/Headphones):
    The green port is the standard and most common port for audio output, and it’s where you should connect your speakers or headphones. It sends audio from your PC to your external sound system.

  • Blue Port – Line-In (Audio Input):
    The blue port is used for audio input, such as connecting an external audio source (like a microphone or audio mixer) to your PC. It’s not for speakers.

  • Pink Port – Microphone (Audio Input):
    The pink port is dedicated to connecting a microphone to your PC.

  • Black and Orange Ports – Surround Sound:
    These ports are used for multi-speaker setups (e.g., 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound systems). The black port is for rear speakers, and the orange port is for the subwoofer.

Summary:

  • For speakers or headphones, use the green port.
  • For audio input (e.g., microphones), use the pink or blue ports.
  • For multi-channel sound setups, use the black and orange ports for additional speakers or subwoofers.

Always ensure your speakers are connected to the green port for the best audio output.
