    Hello all

    I've got a strange issue with my m15x, not sure if anyone else gets this?

    Basically when I plug something into a USB port, my volume get's reduced nearly by half? not in windows settings, you can just hear it drop alot if I'm watching something, I go settings and the volume is still at maximum? it's weird and I can't get my head round...

    Anyone else get this?

    Is that an issue with both usb ports and the combo esata as well or just one in particular? could be a power issue. never heard of anything like that before tbh.

    Have you tried putting the power options within Windows in High Performance?
