Volume Control

Your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook has multiple volume controls which interact with each other.

Controlling the Volume

The volume can be controlled in several different ways:

• Certain external audio devices you connect to your system may have hardware volume controls.

Each source discussed above puts an upper limit on the volume level that must then be followed by the

other sources. We recommend that you experiment with the various volume controls to discover the

optimal sound level.

ANY SOFTWARE THAT CONTAINS AUDIO FILES WILL ALSO CONTAIN A VOLUME CONTROL OF ITS OWN. IF

YOU INSTALL AN EXTERNAL AUDIO DEVICE THAT HAS AN INDEPENDENT VOLUME CONTROL, THE

HARDWARE VOLUME CONTROL AND THE SOFTWARE VOLUME CONTROL WILL INTERACT WITH EACH

OTHER. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT IF YOU SET YOUR SOFTWARE VOLUME TO OFF, YOU WILL OVERRIDE

THE EXTERNAL VOLUME CONTROL SETTING.

• Volume can be controlled using the

volume dial on the left side of the

system (Figure 25). To change the

volume, simply rotate the dial. You

can also mute the sound by pressing

the dial towards the system.

• Volume can be changed or muted from

within the Volume Control in the

system tray.

• Volume can be controlled by many

volume controls that are set within

individual applications.
