sound problems via headphones/display port
Posted: Wed Apr 06, 2011 8:18 am
Hej,
have had my X301 for a few months now and am quite happy. Sound seems to be my main issue:
1. Trebles really suck, even with excellent in-ear headphone (Sennheiser CX300), scraping digital noise instead of crystal-clear sound. It shows most easily with classical music, strings and soprano vocals are worst. Does anyone have similar issues?
2. I got myself a display-port cable to connect an external screen (NEC), hoping that I could utilize its speakers. But I do not get sound, the X301-internal speakers remain activated. Win 7 indicates Conexant 20561 SmartAudia HD in Sound -> Playback, no other device. How can I tell Windows to redirect the sound to the display speakers?
Cheers,
akorn
