Volume Control

Your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook has multiple volume
controls which interact with each other.
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 external volume control settings.

CONTROLLING THE VOLUME

The volume can be controlled in several different ways:
Volume can be set from within the Volume Control on
■
the Taskbar.
Volume can be controlled with the [F8] and [F9]
■
functions keys. Pressing [F8] repeatedly while holding
G e t t i n g t o K n o w Y o u r L i f e B o o k
[Fn] will decrease the volume of your notebook. Press-
ing [F9] repeatedly while holding [Fn] will increase
the volume of your notebook.
There are 26 levels through which the
function keys cycle.
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.
