Speakers volume increase

#1 Post by Whitieiii » Fri Feb 10, 2017 4:21 pm

Might have been said already but want some advice on how to increase volume on internal speakers of the T410, T430, and X220... they are so quiet that people whispering in real life are 10x louder... I use my laptops in places around the house where external speakers can't be like on the couch or kitchen table..... I much rather have speakers than headphones for just watching shows on YouTube although will use headphones but just for music.... how can it be done? My T440s and all my macs have such loud sound output! I don't even run those on 100% volume

On a side note I tested my only pair of computer speakers with the T430 just to test and didn't get much of an increase in volume even though the speakers are on max volume and so is the laptop

It isn't until I hook my computer to my home theater system that the sound gets loud enough....

Option 1: Replace integrated speakers with better ones

Option 2: Follow my guide here: https://www.thinkscopes.com/2015/12/02/ ... heater-v4/

Option 3: Use laptops that already have good speakers
