When I change the volume, it doesn't change the actual volume I hear. Any idea?

Also, other detail, when windows boots with external speakers plugged in, when I plug those speakers out, internal speakers don't output any sound.

Best Answer

Open Control Panel, Sounds, Playback tab and set Speakers to default.

Restart, run Lenovo System Updater or Vantage Updater and update all drivers including BIOS.

Do a final restart and set up Speakers again. Start with only the built in speaker and check the volume operation.

You can also check Windows Update, Optional Updates and check for driver updates. Not all Lenovo updates are included.

Open Start, Settings, Update and security and then see if there is an Optional Update link on the right side. If no optional updates are there, then you must install the driver from the Lenovo Site.
