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. The multimedia software volume controls
are located in the multimedia mixer programs.
