The Lenovo website states this is stereo but I only see a single speaker opening on the rear. Is it mono for speakers but stereo for headphone jack?

Yes. I think so, it is pointless to have stereo for such a small speaker. But the headphone jack is absolutely a stereo one.

It is a single speaker but as for mono no. I say this because alot of music I listen to does have tracks for right side and left side audio, and I get full sound out of it.

No it's not stereo. It's a very small portable unit with clear sound that's mono.It's a 3.5 mm mono jack but you run them in series . In the words of John Lennon " back to mono "

I found this review; it's not Dell-specific but I'm looking for a laptop with loud speakers, since they are usually so disappointing. My tiny smartphone has louder volume than my current Asus laptop. http://blog.laptopmag.com/best-sounding-notebooks-good-enough-to-be-your-stereo

I installed it on my work PC and have used it to transmit audio to my bluetooth headphones and my bluetooth boombox (not at the same time, though). It transmits music fine, but it is NOT in stereo. On my headphones, it only comes through in one speaker, making it unusable for my purposes.

I'm pretty sure it is stereo. I used it this morning, and it sure sounded like it was.

Yes, but it will convert to mono. Also beware if phantom power so you don't harm the laptop.

No it's mono, they have the non rugged model that allows you to pair two at a time for stereo sound.

If you are outputting via hdmi from a Mac or pc it is perfectly compatible, even sound out over hdmi, just plug your speakers into the 3.5mm port on it. I use it with both my Lenovo laptop and Mac mini. I will warn you however a USB connection to your laptop is needed for touch screen support and that only works with windows as of this moment.

It is stereo, but it is cheaply made. It is a toy, not a serious pair of headphones.

Is that microphone jack stereo or mono? Does it provide "phantom power" to a microphone? &gt;If it does, you probably can't use that jack for any other device. Does the RCA - to - 1/8" adapter have a stereo (3-contact) or mono (2-contact) 1/8" plug? &gt;Some mono ones are made with red and white insulators (or other mixed colours), which makes them APPEAR to be the same as the stereo ones. If any part of the connecting arrangement is "mono", you won't get the "correct" sound from the turntable, and it is possible that you would get no sound. Also, check to see if there is an input-level adjustment (it would be an on-screen control); if there is one and it is set at or near its minimum, little or no signal will get into the "konfuzer". I would prefer that a LINE-level input was provided; but I believe some microphone inputs are set up so that they can be selectively switched to accomodate line-level signals. You may need to consult someone locally who can investigate the settings on your specific laptop. &gt;Line level is about 100 times the voltage of a microphone's output, and it will overdrive a microphone stage. Another possibility is: The signal going into the microphone jack probably can't be passed to the speakers directly. If it was so connected, you would have a defacto "P.A. system", and laptops are not known for having that function. In any event, the correct setting of the AT-PL120's output switch is "LINE", which will apply the necessary RIAA frequency equalization. If all else fails, instead of connecting the turntable to the laptop, use a pair of powered speakers that have their own volume control, a boombox with an auxiliary input, or any normal stereo system until you have the laptop matter figured out.

corndog.....This unit acts as a stereo (2 channel) only though it behaves like an internal sound card. I originally bought it because I broke the audio output jack on my PC. Now I'm using it with a Macbook Pro as part of a high end sound system...

Yes it is stereo, but I noticed my unit crackled and popped when a song played out of only one speaker. You will notice that some songs on occasion are mixed this way for effect or whatever. I emailed them and they said it sounded defected. I'm sending it back tomorrow and going with an amp from Schitt. Other than that, the sound was awesome and in stereo.

It has a headphone socket. I do not know if it has a microphone plug, or at least I can't find one. It has a built in microphone with a tiny hole. I don't know how to tell if it has an SD card slot but ot has a lot of slots for something. I loaded a you tube video and watched it to see if the headphones worked properly. They did for a while then the system crashed and the computer ran a bunch of windows recovery routines, but it looks like it is dead now. I am writing this on my HP desk top because the Lenovo B590 does not work.

Easy. Just use the included audio jack and it will play sound much higher than that of your notebook. I've used it for gaming once and the sound is amazing although it may rattle at times since it is so small.

It has very good sound, but is mono. It has jacks for extra speakers for a stereo experience with additional speakers that you would need to purchase in addition.
