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.
