Controlling volume

If you purchased a multimedia computer with a CD-ROM
drive, your computer may have volume controls in up to
three different locations:
•
On one of the speakers.
•
In the multimedia software that came with your
system.
•
On the CD-ROM drive on the front of the system
unit. (Your system may not have this volume
control.) This volume control is used only to control
headphone volume and has no effect on the
speakers.
The control you use depends on whether you are
listening to sound through the speakers or the
headphones.

Adjusting the speaker volume

If you are listening to sound through the speakers, use
the volume control on the front of the speaker to adjust
the volume.
The volume control on the front of the speaker is
affected by the volume control setting in the multimedia
software that came with your computer. For example, if
you turn the volume on the speaker up, and no sound
comes out of the speakers, the volume setting in your
multimedia software might be too low.
