Getting to Know Your LifeBook
Volume Control
Your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook has multiple volume
controls which interact with each other.
CONTROLLING THE VOLUME
There is the hardware volume control located on the
notebook itself, and the volume control set from within
the Volume Control on the Taskbar. In addition to those,
there are also application volume controls that are set
within each program individually.
Each source discussed above, puts an upper limit on the
volume level that must then be followed by the other
sources. For example:
■
Your hardware volume control is all the way down,
therefore your individual software application’s
volume control has no effect on the volume.
We recommend that you use the hardware volume
controls to set the upper limit for the sound level and
then make fine adjustments with the Volume Control
on the Taskbar and individual application software.
SETTING THE HARDWARE
VOLUME CONTROL
1. Turn the volume control knob to the right of your
notebook to increase the volume.
2. Turn the volume control knob to the left to decrease
the volume. (See figure 2-7 on page 13 for location)
CAUTION
Any software that contains audio files will also contain
a volume control of its own. Both the main notebook
volume control and the software volume control will
interact with each other, but it should be noted that if
you set your software volume to Off, you will override
the main volume control setting and the software set-
ting will control the maximum knob setting.
