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 different ways:
• Certain external audio devices you 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.
A NY SOFTWARE THAT CONTAINS AUDIO FILES WILL ALSO CONTAIN A VOLUME CONTROL OF ITS OWN . I F
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 . I T SHOULD BE NOTED THAT IF YOU SET YOUR SOFTWARE VOLUME TO O FF , YOU WILL OVERRIDE
THE EXTERNAL VOLUME CONTROL SETTING .
• Volume can be controlled using the
volume dial on the left side of the
system (Figure 25). To change the
volume, simply rotate the dial. You
can also mute the sound by pressing
the dial towards the system.
• Volume can be changed or muted from
within the Volume Control in the
system tray.
• Volume can be controlled by many
volume controls that are set within
individual applications.
