Volume Control
Your LifeBook notebook has multiple volume controls
which interact with each other.
CONTROLLING THE VOLUME
Volume Control Button
Volume can be controlled using the Volume Control
button above the keyboard, to the right.
(Figure 2-10)
Figure 2-10 Volume Control
To increase the volume, press the upper portion of the
Volume Control button; to decrease the volume, press
the lower portion of the Volume Control button.
The current volume level is indicated in the Volume
Level indicator. The volume level ranges from 0 to 15.
Other Ways to Control Volume
Aside from the Volume Control button, the volume can
be controlled in several other ways:
■
Volume can be set from within the Volume Control on
the Taskbar.
■
Volume can be controlled by many volume controls
that are set within individual applications.
■
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.
