Line out
Alternatively referred to as the sound out, the line out
or line-out is a port found on computer sound cards that
allow external speakers,
headphones, or other output devices to be
connected to the computer, which enables computer generated sound and audio can
be heard. In the picture to the right, is an example of the back of the sound
card. With this example sound card, there are three line out port ports
that are green, black, and orange each represented with an arrow pointing out
of sound waves. With most computers, you will only have one sound out connector
that will be green.
- See the connection definition for listing of other connections on a computer and another visual example of the sound out port.
