Volume Control

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

 

CONTROLLING THE VOLUME

Methods to Control Volume

The volume can be controlled in several 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.
