    I remember seeing somewhere in a forum, not sure if this one, a registry tweak to handle the problem with the low volume output through the speakers the M1530 came with originally. Does anybody know what I'm talking about? I can't find it to save my life and I need it.

    Thanks in advance.

    I'm not sure what your referring to but I know that laptopvideo2go has a sound driver for laptops with sigmatel, im not sure if this would fix your problem.

    No, not it. It's a registry tweak.

    Well if you read the article there might not be a Scrunch folder in Vista either, in which case it needs to be created.

    However the reason why I was looking for this is because when booting from my 7 partition, the volume seemed to be dimmer than from the vista one, so I wanted to try it. I exported the key to the 7 partition and didn't seem to find a noticeable difference, but YMMW. Try it and let me know if you see a difference.
