IBM 2194, 6345, 2193 manual Controlling volume, Adjusting the speaker volume

Controlling volume

Depending on your model, your computer might have more than one way of controlling volume:

•Front panel thumbwheel (models equipped with front audio connectors only)

•The volume-control software that came with your computer

This is the only control that will affect the volume of the speakers provided with your computer.

•On the CD-ROM drive at the front of the system unit

Your system may not have this volume control. If your system has this control, it will only control the headphones volume if the headphones are plugged into the CD-ROM drive front panel jack. This control 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

The volume of the speakers is controlled by a software volume-control program provided with your computer. You can access the volume control program using either of the following methods:

•Rotate front panel thumbwheel (models equipped with front audio connectors only)

•Click on the speaker icon on the Windows 98 taskbar located at the bottom right corner of the Windows desktop. This method allows you to control the overall volume.

•Click on Start, select Programs, select Accessories, select Entertainment, and then click on Volume Control. This method starts the master Volume Control window, which allows you to adjust the volume of each audio device individually.

If no sound comes from your speakers, you might have the volume set too low or the mute function activated.
