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

THE EXTERNAL VOLUME CONTROL SETTING.

Controlling the Volume

The volume can be controlled in several different ways:

Volume can be changed using the [Vol -] and [Vol +] buttons above the keyboard.

Volume can be changed or muted from within the Volume Control in the system tray.

Volume can be muted by pressing the [F3] key while holding down the [Fn] key. To restore audio, repeat the [Fn+F3] procedure.

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 method puts an upper limit on the volume level that must then be followed by the other methods. We recommend that you experiment with the various volume controls to discover the optimal sound level.
