Hi @Carlo26 ,

Welcome to HP Support Community.  

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

To use the audio port on your HP 14 Inch Laptop PC as an auxiliary (AUX) audio input, you'll need to follow these steps:

Check the Laptop Ports: Ensure that your laptop has a combo audio jack that supports both headphones and microphone. Typically, this is a 3.5mm TRRS (Tip, Ring, Ring, Sleeve) jack.

Get the Right Cable: You'll need a 3.5mm stereo male-to-male audio cable (AUX cable). One end should have a 3.5mm plug to connect to your phone, and the other end should have a 3.5mm plug to connect to your laptop.

Connect the Cable:

• Plug one end of the cable into the headphone jack of your phone.
• Plug the other end into the headphone/microphone combo jack on your laptop.

Configure Audio Settings:

• On your laptop, right-click on the speaker icon in the system tray (bottom-right corner).
• Choose "Open Sound settings" or "Playback devices."
• Make sure the laptop's speakers are set as the default playback device.

Adjust Volume:

• On your laptop, adjust the volume to a suitable level.
• On your phone, adjust the volume to a low level to start.

Play Audio on Your Phone:

• Start playing audio on your phone.
• The sound should now be routed through the laptop's speakers.

Troubleshooting:

• If you're not hearing any sound, double-check your connections and ensure the cable is properly plugged in.
• Make sure the laptop's audio settings are configured correctly.

Considerations:

• The laptop's microphone input might pick up some background noise, so it's best to mute or disable the microphone input in your sound settings.
• laptops may require additional configuration or software, so refer to the laptop's user manual

I hope this helps. 

Take care and have a good day.
