Studio 1537 sound and sound controls

hi all-

first off great forum! thanks! secondly, got my new little purple beauty but...

the sound is so low not sure how i can increase it. tried to crank up all the settings but it doesnt really help

and now the touch controls for audio volume etc stopped working as well how do you turn them on and off? is there a setting somewhere that i touched?

thanks!!

 

Do you still have the Dell Quickset install? The speakers on the Studio 15 aren't the greatest unfortunately. If you need much better output you will have to look into using external speakers.

 

yes it is installed and it started working again.

anyway to jack up the volume a little bit?

THANKS!

 

Nope unfortunately as soon as you hit 100% volume that's as high as those speakers are going to go.

 

do you find them way low? if someone is talking in the same room you basically cannot hear to well whats coming from the laptop

 

Yes I find mine to be low. I use earbuds most of the time anyhow and they get a loud enough volume.

If only media files volume too low, you could install the K-lite codecs then configure to use AC3 filter and add volume gain. Got my studio gain adj up +10dB and the internal speakers are now much louder.

Also, dumped the poorly-coded Quickset in favor of IntelliType Pro v6.3 software to provide an on-screen volume control and programmable Media buttons...

 

i deleted Dell's audio drivers, i think it's IDT from control panel.

i rebooted and i'm using Vista's audio drivers. it's about 400 times louder at the cost of using dell's custom audio setup, which, with these speakers really doesn't do much, if at all.

 

sounds great (pun intended)

what do i delete exactly:

IDT HD audio codec

is that it? because i tried that and upon restart up it installed them again on its own ??? then i also went to the dell site and got the latest idt driver and installed that but it doesnt show it installed when i look into device manager and the details?

thanks

 

do it through device manager.

do a search... someone here found it on some site that give very specific instructions. i know it's though device manager and click on driver tab. then remove the driver and reboot. see what happens.
