Possible Solutions
Adjust the volume control on your notebook and
operating system.Use the [Fn+F9] key combination
on your LifeBook keyboard. Pressing [F9] repeat-
edly while holding [Fn] will increase the volume of
your notebook.
Manually adjusting the volume (i.e. keyboard "hot
keys") should dynamically adjust the volume of the
operating (see above). If that doesn't work, adjust
the sound volume control settings in your software
or application.
Plugging in headphones disables the built-in
speakers, remove the headphones.
Set the BIOS setup utility to the default values within
the Multimedia Device Configuration menu. (See
BIOS Setup Utility on page 29 for more information)
The Audio Driver may be installed or reinstalled by
using the Drivers and Applications CD that came

tion and operating system documentation for help.
Click on the Volume icon in the tool tray on the
bottom right of the screen. (It looks like a speaker).
If the Mute box is checked, click on it to uncheck it.
You can also use the [Fn+F3] key combination to
toggle the volume on and off.Pressing [F3] while
holding [Fn] will toggle the audio mute.
Open the optical drive tray and re-install the disc
properly.
Push on the front of the optical drive tray until it
latches. If that doesn't work, pull out the modular
drive latch to remove the device from the bay, then
re-insert the drive until it latched; this ensures that
the drive is properly seated.
