audio output
What you hear
Audio output is sound produced by a device—speakers, headphones, or any equipment that converts electrical signals into audible sound.
The term often refers to the connection point itself: Plug your headphones into the audio output jack.
In technical contexts, it contrasts with audio input, which receives sound rather than producing it.
