    Hi, I bought a new laptop today. A Fujitsu AH530. The speakers are realtek high definition. After the initial set up i have noticed that the sound is low and very tinny even with the speakers turned up. I have tried various setting. Should i bring the laptop back or is it something simple i am missing?:confused:
    Thanks in advance!

    Depends. You could try checking the Realtek application in Control Panel, maybe there's an audio effect that could be turned off.

    However, according to this review the speakers are reviewed as:
    Speakers

    The Lifebook AH530's speakers unfortunately belong to the worst that can be found in the notebook division. Both speakers, located above the keyboard, taunt the user with an extremely muffled, imprecise and unnatural sound. Annoying static noise quickly turns up under a too high load. The right loudspeaker generally distorts the sound. Bass isn't worth mentioning either. The speakers lack force and volume. Additionally, there is a quite limited maximum volume, which almost has to be seen as an advantage in view of the described shortcomings. In short: To enjoy music, movies and games adequately, external loudspeakers or a headphone is mandatory in any event.

    You might be better off getting a decent headset or a good pair of speakers.

    If you plan on using your speakers a lot be sure to test them out in the store. I always reccomend the premium series of laptops for sound and build quality. the new M-series HP laptops have shipped with 2.1 Beats Audio - yes, they have a subwoofer.
