Volume Control

Your LifeBook notebook has multiple volume controls
which interact with each other.
P O I N T S
Any software that contains audio files will also con-
tain a volume control of its own. If you install an
external audio device that has an independent vol-
ume 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 external volume
control setting.
Using the Fn+F8 and Fn+F9 combinations 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.
