Volume Control on eMachines laptop
by acnestis from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6FY40)
Hi Group!
This is the machine:
E528-2821
Intel Celeron 900
15.6" 16:9 HD LCD
Intel GMA 4500M
2GB DDR3 Memory
250GB (Hitachi) HDD
DVD-Super Multi DL drive
802.11b/g/n Bluetooth excluded
4-cell Li-ion battery
In a previous post, I described this, my ex-wife's laptop. And, sifting through all the helpful advice, settled on the 32-bit flavor of Antix. [Looks like a cute OS - I think I'll test-drive it on a REAL machine.]
She wanted it to read ebooks, and listen to music throughout the house via an FM transmitter dongle. She's no longer interested in trying to watch videos.
Problem is: No volume control. I've looked all over the thing, and can't find anything resembling a volume control. And the volume as-is is so muted as to be useless.
Is it possible that the way this thing was sold (Win7 Home, I think) that the volume control was handled completely by the OS?
Has anybody actually fondled one of these toys, and found a volume control?
Thanks in advance,
- Ralph
