Connect the Speakers (if using built-in sound)
The ASUS M2N32-SLI Deluxe Wireless Edition comes with sound built-into the motherboard that is quite good, certainly good enough that an add-on sound card is not needed. Now is a good time to connect the speakers, even though you really won't hear anything until the motherboard chipset drivers are installed.
I'm using Creative Cambridge SoundWorks PCWorks speakers which have 2 small, square-shaped speakers that go on the desk and the larger sub-woofer speaker. The wires on these speakers are nice and long so it's usually not difficult to place the speakers and volume control in the best location. Ideally, the satellite speakers should be equidistant from the listener. The sub-woofer should be up against the wall, although it can't be flush since the wiring connects in the back. The next three pictures are color-coded to help show where each plug connects. Two things I'll point out. First, notice the volume control has two similar looking connectors coming out of it - the one that is gun shaped plugs into the sub-woofer and the one that is straight plugs into the I/O panel. Second, notice that each actual speaker wire ends in a bare split to be connected to the red and black connectors on the back of the sub-woofer - one wire in the split has a red band and this indicates to attach it to the red connector.
Connect the speakers to the Line Out connector on the I/O panel, circled in green below. There is etching next to each connector indicating what each is for, although it's difficult to make out even in the enlarged picture, and not very helpful even when it can be clearly seen. Usually the connector itself is color coded green.
Turn the speaker on - there's a power button on the back of the sub-woofer. Plug everything back into the rear of the computer, including the video cable, keyboard cable, mouse cable and power cord. Here's how the back of the computer case looks with all of these connections made.
