Welcome to the Clix English Course.
In this course,
we listen to stories,
conversations
and we record ourselves speaking.
But first
we need to understand how to use our headsets.
Look at the headphone you have with you.
This is how it looks like.
See these two wires attached to the headphone.
One plug is for listening.
It usually is green
and this is the symbol on it.
This is a splitter.
It has two holes
so that two persons can use their headphones.
One for you
and one for your partner
to insert the plug.
You need to insert the plug all the way in.
Till you hear a click!
Or you may not be able to hear clearly.
Similarly, plug the splitter into the listening port
the audio out port.
That is also green in colour.
Also ensure that this plug is tightly fitted into the port.
Once you have done this
click on the audio to listen.
If you can't still hear
check that the plugs are properly fitted into the ports.
If you still can't hear
check the volume
both on your computer and on your headphones if it has an option.
Now, what if you want to record your voice for the Audio Recording Tool?
You will need to change the plugs.
Unplug the splitter from the CPU headphone port
and plug it into the mic port.
Then take out the green headphone plugs from the splitter.
Now, insert the other plug for the mic, in the splitter.
The mic plug is generally pink in colour
and has this symbol.
This time the splitter needs to go into the pink
or the audio in port.
Record yourself.
If you need to listen to yourself
change the plugs in the splitter from pink
mic ones to the green headphone ones.
Similarly, change the splitter port from the pink
mic port to the green
audio out port.
It is simple. Keep in mind
to listen, connect the headphone plugs to the headphone port
and to record, connect the mic plug to the mic port.
You will get to practise this process a lot in the course.
If thee are any problems, ask your teacher.
Remember this process and have fun listening and recording and re-recording!
