Choosing which speakers to use
You can listen to iTunes audio through any of the following:
- Your computer's built-in speakers
- Speakers connected to your computer and a power outlet
- Remote speakers connected to an AirPort Express network
Here are ways to choose which speakers to use:
- If you connect external speakers, iTunes plays through them and mutes the computer's built-in speakers.
- If you connect speakers to an AirPort Express network, a speakers pop-up menu (shown below) appears at the bottom of the iTunes window. To listen through your remote speakers, choose them from the pop-up menu. If you don't see the menu, iTunes uses your computer's speakers (and external speakers, if any are connected). To use only the volume controls on your remote speakers, see "Adjusting the volume" (click the link below).
- To prevent your computer from looking for remote speakers (and displaying the speakers pop-up menu), choose iTunes > Preferences, click Advanced, click General, and then deselect "Look for remote speakers connected with AirTunes."
For more information about setting up your AirPort Express, see the documentation that came with it or visit the websites below.
