    I wanted to inquire about audio options on my new XPS 17. I agree that the sound quality is very good. What has not been good in my experience has been the sound level options. Basically, the loudest setting is not as load as my old inspiron and for some uses, like google voice, it is barely loud enough to hear someone talking when set at max volume.

    Is there any way to get the levels higher? Is it something wrong with my system or is everyones like this? It doesn't feel like it is my system because playing music at the highest levels sounds good and somewhat loud but some tasks that require going higher just hit a wall.
