    I just like to ask you guys something.

    I had this notebook since it first came out, and I like it everything except one problem. It is very difficult to control volume. :( The sound is very loud when I use headphone, but it is very low when I use notebook speaker. Do you guys have problem with volume control? It is very difficult to hear music, or movie. Is there anway I can fix this?

    Unfortunately the speakers of smaller laptops are not very loud, so using headphones is a great solution.

    However, you can use your desktop speakers or buy portable external speakers and plug it into the laptop and you'll get more volume.

    Also, you can use Turtle Beach solutions to help with sound clarity and performance. Sound blaster should have a express slot solution aswell, just like the current PCMCIA Sound Blaster.

    REALLY? can you give me a model number to the express slot sound card? That's exactly what I've been waiting for. I was looking for a way to use my 5.1 speakers system but couldn't find a good solution so I ended up buying the Sennheiser HD280 headphone. It works really good but would still like my 5.1 speakers back.
