Controlling Audio Volume
Audio volume control affects the speaker, headphones, and
external speakers that are connected to the speaker/headphone
line-out jack.
There are three ways to control the audio volume:
■
Using volume control buttons on the left side of the computer.
Press the front button to turn down the volume. Press the rear
button to turn up the volume. To mute sound completely, press
both volume buttons simultaneously.
■
Using volume control features available under the Audio tab
in Multimedia Properties.
■
Using the
Fn+F5
hotkeys (adjusts only the volume of system
warning beeps).
Some software applications, such as game programs, include their
own volume controls. You may need to use the software to adjust
volume to the desired sound level.
The volume control on the computer overrides all other volume
controls in the software. That is, the volume from the integrated
speaker, external speakers, or headphones will never be louder
than the sound level selected using the computer volume control.
