    What volume do you guys put for gaming? I usually have to out it at 100 to get to a good level. Even if I am using headphones, the volume is still low.

    Are you using 3rd party sound utilities like dolby v4/razer surround/onekey theater?

    Ok apparently I ended the dolby one key theater process. Now that I restarted, the sound got much better. Do you use normal or movie?

    None. Razer Surround :)

    Glad the problem was fixed.

    Just a quick question, the lenovo y410p comes with the dolby home theater right? What is dolby one key then?

    No idea. I clean installed as soon as I got this machine, so I'm not using any of the preinstalled Lenovo crapware.

    Uninstall both OKTheater and DolbyHTV4.1, then get Razer Surround, calibrate to your speakers or headset and enjoy.
