question re sound

[nasr]

i have a question about my laptop vaio grt915m.
when i turned up the volum the speacker sound wasn't changed so much. it's still low sound even the volum marks the highest.

After i updated real player software, sounds becom loudly and
it began to work good.

I would like to know why before speaker sound was not hight.

thank you

regards. nasr

A lot of VAIOs have volume limiters - it's to do with laws in Europe.
Not sure how you got realplayer to over ride it.

Try moving all the other available sliders up eg Wave and CD.

Surprisingly Sony have never been very good on the volume of their laptops, in comparison Toshibe are very good.

The headphone socket gives good volume, it's just those damned speakers.

Also put the volume to max in Windows Media Player, RealPlayer and whatever media players you have.
