    Hi everyone. I've bought a Sony Vaio Fz-21E. Very good machine. But the notebook's own sound is not enough. For ex. when I watch a movie from notebook. I need to plug extra sound system to hear it.
    Is it normal to have weak sound for this machine? Thanks already for your help.

    Yes the FZ's built in speakers hardly produce any sound, even at max volume. Get a good external speaker system.
