Thinkpads Forum

This is a question about my T20, but since all of the T models I've seen look similar, I thought it might apply to them all, which is why I'm posting in this forum. I apologise if it's the wrong forum.

When using the T20 to play games, with the sound coming out of the laptop's speakers, whenever I press the Volume up or Volume Down button on the laptop, the volume alters accordingly, but in fairly large jumps. I know that I can alter the sound more precisely using the windows speaker setting on Windows' taskbar, but during a game the task bar is usually inaccessable.

Is there a setting somewhere that alters the amount by which the physical buttons on the laptop increase/reduce the sound output by? Or is there no way to alter the amount of sound per button press?

I am using Windows 98SE, if that is relevent.

Thanks for any answers.

I believe if you lower the volume on the Windows slider, with the hardware volume button set to maximum, to achieve an acceptable maximum volume; then when you change the volume with the hardware volume control during gameplay, the range will be less, so the jumps in volume will be less.
