    I was contemplating buying the U81A-RX05 and saw a display model at the store. When I played the demo video on the laptop I initially thought the mute button was on because I could BARELY hear anything...cranked it up to full (100%) and still could not make out what was being said because volume was so low. Found some wav files on the notebook and they were no better. Double checked sound card configuration and sound mixer and they were maxed out. Is this a broken display model or is the sound really THIS BAD? HP notebook next to it was at least 4 times louder. This is a deal breaker unless someone else has had a better experience...
