    kind of hard to put into words, but is there a way to increase the amount of volume the volume button actually increases or decreases per push?

    I want to press on the button and actually have it make a difference, not just 1 little volume notch at a time

    or I guess I could just hold it down, never tried that

    No. I figured this out. You know how the FIRST push makes it go up a lot, and then after that, its all small increments, if you tap it really fast?

    Well slow down your tapping enough that each tap makes the laptop think it's a *first* tap. so each tap will be large increment.

    So have a beat to the tapping and it will go up with decent speed. better than holding down I think.
