i just got the FE, and the volume even on maximum is still quite low. i was wondering if there was an easy way to adjust the volume louder than what it is supposed to go to. i read somewhere there was a way, but i forgot where i read that. thanks.
-
are you sure the audio is at max unde sound and audio properties?
-
o wow sorry i feel stupid. i didnt see the sound reality settings in there. thank you.
-
yea np, thats the first thing i checked and yea it was half ways on mine
-
hi,
i just got my fe and i have very low volume on it. what do you mean by audio and sound properties? i have my wave and volume at max and still its not loud..? -
the sound reality settings does the same thing the default volume controls do, they don't amplify the sound, ur going to get the same sound whatsoever, and btw what do you have for the sampling rate, and do you have spdif output checked, with what khz?
-
by default i have sampling rate at 192.0 khz and spdif at 48.0 khz, is this ok?

Veering off the original topic of this post...
Do the FEs use the same Sound Reality chip as the SZs? -
I dont know if sound reality is a chip, it uses the sigmatel high definition audio codec, and i think sound reality is just a program.
-
u know whats weird? the sound the notebook makes at startup (with the vaio logo) is really loud. this means the laptop is capable of producing loud audio. nevertheless, once in windows everything is much lower....boggles my mind!~
-
exactly totono, when increasin the bios volume, the vaio logo volume is loud, i wish that same loudness can be put into the normal windows audio. hopefully, they get a fix for this, or someone finds a way to solve this problem. other than that, this laptop is great. just this issue bothers me. the last driver update for sigmatel was 2/13/06 i believe, they did not have any audio driver updates after that, the vaio update keeps pointing me to update to this one thing that requires the dock, but I dont need that update. I doubt talking to some customer service for sony about the volume will be of any help, unless overwhelming complaints about hte volume comes, they might provide a fix for it.
