PCV - V1 volume

MattyEF — Mon, 23 May 2005 20:17:36 GMT

Hi all. Newbie here.
I have a PCV - V1 and find that the factory max volume is not loud enough (I've got young kids and sometimes you are left with no choice but to take it up a notch!). Is there anything I can do to change the settings?
Apologies to all you Vaio masters if you have already done this one - I did check a month or so worth of previous threads (honest).

Welcome to the forum Matty.
I take it that you have already adjusted to max volume buy either double clicking the volume icon in the system tray (or click start > all programs > accessories > entertainment > volume control?

Winamp has a feature where you can crank up the music - might be helpful.

Hello Rich - yes I have tried that. That's the problem really: the max volume is not quite max enough!

Max volume on my system causes complaints from the next village:smileygrin:
What speaker system are you using?

I'm currently using the built-in speakers only -so that's my answer then? External speakers and await the ASBO?

Yup, that¿s your answer. Internal speakers are next to useless for serious music listening (or anything else to come to that). Get yourself a minimum of a 2.1 system with a decent Subwoofer and the ASBO¿s will come rolling in.:smileygrin: I have a Logitech Z3 (approx £70). Not a top end system, but for the price excellent value.

minimum? That is perfect for listen music. An excellent Hifi system is much better than a cheap Dolby digital system, which cost the same money.:smileytongue:

LOL @ the ASBO bit

Yes, those speakers in the V1 are a bit cack to say the least

Do you have sonicstage mastering studio audio filters. it has an inflator feature which can increas the max volume. You could also look for similar inflator plug ins if you do not have SSMS.
