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 ways:
• Volume can be controlled using the [Fn]+[F8] and [Fn]+[F9] key combinations.
• Certain external audio devices you might 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 set using the volume
control toggle on the right of the
WLAN switch.
• Volume can be set from within the
Volume Control in the system tray.
• Volume can be controlled by many
volume controls that are set within
individual applications.
