Volume Control; Controlling The Volume - Fujitsu Lifebook C2230 User Manual

Volume Control

Your 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 vol-
ume to Off, you will override the exter-
nal volume control setting.
■ Using the Fn+F8 and Fn+F9 combina-
tions to control volume will override
software volume controls.

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
[Fn] will decrease the volume of your notebook.
Pressing [F9] repeatedly while holding [Fn] will
increase the volume of your notebook.
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.
