I've got an Aspire 7730 which is about a month old. Everything is working fine except the subwoofer seems to be very weak. You need to put your ear up against it to hear anything at all so it's more or less useless as is. My brother's 5920 has a very good subwoofer and the sound output is excellent from it.
Would anyone know if this is normal for the 7730 or do I have a faulty subwoofer?
Acer Aspire 7730 584G16Mn System bios v0.3509
I want to run xp on this pre-installed vista home basic laptop and to cut a long story short have installed xp in Sata Mode: Ide because all the other methods tried ie:nlite slipstreaming have not worked for me
Now I have xp working I would like to enable AHCI mode in the bios but the various tutorials Ive looked at so far have been unsuccessful.
Has anyone who has this model Aspire 7730 been successful in this procedure or knows a way that has worked for others?
I repeat that this should be a procedure that is Aspire 7730 specific as I feel this is the key.
i want to put a second hard drive in my laptop and i cant find where to get a second connector.

My subwoofer seems to be broken, sometimes it sounds as it should but sometimes it sounds like a broken speaker. Have anyone else experienced this? Is there a easy fix or do I need to hand it in for repair?
When it was new 2 months ago I began with creating two partitions on the windows drive (it has 2 harddrives) because I don't like it when the windows partition is on 500 gb, then everything got screwed and nothing worked (I so hate the MS partitioning tool).
Because of this I lost the backup partition and the genuin OS. I have ordered the windows seven upgrade but I wonder, can I do a clean install without having a genuin os on the pc, with the upgrade kit?
Is there anyway I get a new backup partition?
I do have a serial on the back of the laptop for vista, is there anywhere I can get the oem dvd for vista for this laptop and install it with my serial?
Right now I have windows 7 RC and the volume touch slider does not work. I can't find any drivers for it on the acer driver site. IS it broken or what is wrong?
I got a laptop today and it has Vista on it.can i format the harddrive and put in Windows xp.is it possible or would it be hassle?
View 10 Replies View RelatedA friend of mine has an Acer 7730 and I think his WiFi button is broke. Every time he presses it, it spouts a random set or r[]'s when the light flashes (every 5secs ish). It was suggested he had a virus and so a full reinstall was done, but now I've looked at it I think its a dodgy key! The original keyboard has been replaced as I think something was spilt on it, but of course the keys down the left are seperate.
So long story short, he cant get on the internet as pressing the key makes any text go rrrr[[[[[]]]]]] etc etc. Is there anyway to enable WiFi without this button? and can it be replaced?
i vûconnected my laptop via HDMI cable to my LCD TV. The video is fine, but the sound comes only through my pc. I read on this and other forums that i should set the HDMI audio output device to default in the audio options, but it's not active to me.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI just got my Aspire 6930G yesterday and noticed something which may be a problem. Above the keyboard there is a row of blue lights and buttons for multimedia controls like volume, play, etc. The buttons light up and work fine. My question is on the volume section.
It looks like this:
- | | | | | | | | +
The minus button turns down the volume and the plus button raises the volume. The vertical bars in the middle look like they are supposed to light up to indicate the volume level, but they do not light up. Does anyone know if they are just for decoration or if they are actually supposed to work? If they are supposed to light up, is it possible this is controlled by a setting someplace? I looked in the likely places (Keyboard, Sounds, etc.) but didn't find anything.
Everything else with the volume works fine: the controls make it louder and softer, I see the on-screen display of the volume when I press the +/- buttons, etc.
how can I disable the on screen display of the (green) volume bar? It forces to window whatever is playing full screen, games etc
View 5 Replies View RelatedI was wondering if anybody would be able to help me with a little volume problem i'm having.
I recently installed Windows 7 RTM. Everything was working fine including the volume control. Then one day i booted the laptop and was unable to control the volume using the volume dial on the front of the laptop.
Some information:
>The volume dial hardware is working fine because when i boot into Vista there are still no problems
>When i turn the dial, the volume does not change either up or down
what drivers control the volume dial or as to what software may be required to make it work again?
My touch senstive volume control on my 6935g wont work, its frozen, i tired turning the laptop off, no buttons work, It is stuck on hold

I am using Microsoft Autoroute for navigation and the turn by turn is so quiet that I have to plug in an external speaker.In the Text to Talk settings the default voice - Anna - is loud enough reading the sample text, but from the software is v quiet. Windows sounds are also quiet.System is Win 7 Starter and I have installed the latest Realtek audio drivers from the Acer website.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a brand new Acer Aspire V3-572G. Its been a bit of a lemon so far, but I will give it the benefit of the doubt for just a while longer as I'm not particularly tech-savvy so perhaps the problem is me. Yesterday the volume icon (on the bar at the bottom of the screen) stopped working altogether. I can press it with the curser and it changes colour in the way it should when you click on something ... BUT nothing comes up ... no sound/volume control thing that I can adjust. I know I can use the Function key and arrows, but that is just fiddly, and for a brand new computer, I expect things to work.

View 4 Replies View RelatedFor some reason when connecting to my UE Boom speakers, the sound volume is about 70% as loud as when playing from any of my other devices, such as my HTC One or my wifes Ipad. Â I have checked all the settings, volume is maxed out at 100%. Â I have reinstalled the latest drivers for both the bluetooth and the audio device:
Blueooth_Atheros_8.0.0000.0228_w8x64_a & Audio_Realtek_6.0.1.7027_w81x64_A.
Â
I did find a setting under manage audio devices >> sound >> communication tab, that lowers the sound by 80%. Â But I disabled this feature and it only seems to be linked to the internal speakers.
Â
It also seems like I have issues at times trying to connect to my bluetooth speakers, but not always.
How can I increase volume without the UP arrow key? Â Normally do Fn-Up. Volume is only issue (can page up then down to scroll). Control panel options look like they increase volume, but they don't. Windows troubleshooting deals only with the sound card, which is fine. Â (Old laptop, so I don't want to replace the key). Â

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a 5.1 output on my comp and after reading up on Wikipedia I'm still not sure whether I should be getting sound from 5 or all 6 speakers. In the test thing it says ; If the low frequency sounds are not heard from the subwoofer (Tuba) then I should check the "Swap" box to swap the center speaker for the subwoofer, which seems to indicate I should normally be getting sound from all 6 speakers, as when I make the test Icones all 6 speakers send out soundwaves. I'm pretty sure that, in the past, I was getting sound from all the speakers, and that the subwoofer was a lot stronger than before.
View 15 Replies View RelatedI've had this laptop since November as a replacement for my old 6920G which unfortunately got stolen, and the subwoofer/booster has been working fine with the latest Realtek driver on Windows 7.
However today I noticed that my music sounded a bit 'tinny', then discovered that the tuba booster thing wasn't working at all. I have no idea when it stopped working, although I suspect it my have physically broken in some way as I've done quite a bit of trvelling with my laptop over Christmas.
Is there any way I can properly identify the cause of the problem, and how would I go about getting it fixed? I'm not sure if I even have a warranty as I bought it second hand off ebay!
I have installed a clean version of Windows 7 on my Acer 6530G and installed the drivers provided on the Acer site, but after setting 5.1 audio in the settings and ran the test, there is no sound coming out of the Subwoofer.
I don't have any Acer software anymore, only because there are none to download on the Acer site apart from the launch manager.
Does anyone know what I need to do in order to get the subwoofer to work?
Tried getting the empower framework to install in order to use the launch button for it, but keep getting an error message about 'no supported operating system'!

View 3 Replies View RelatedIn mine DV7 speakers+subwoofer i can't hear anything relevant from subwoofer even if i push the low frequencies of equalizator up.
Only when i connect to an hi-fi i can hear difference, of course the DV7 subwoofer doesn't matter then, it is only the IDT system working.
Anyone knows how to verify if the subwoofer is working? Listening to the audio coming out of the laptop,
I can't tell if the subwoofer is outputting any sound. Is there a way to disable the speakers and just have the subwoofer active (aside from taking the laptop apart and disconnect cables).
Just received an XPS 1640 last week. Great system so far. A question about the audio.
I can't seem to tell if my subwoofer is working or not. Audio seems ok, but not very bassy and none of my adjustments to bass levels seem to have much effect. I've got the most recent IDT drivers installed (6.10.0.6162). When I try testing the speakers in the speaker setup (Start - > control panel ->hardware and sound -> sound ->speakers and headphones (IDT high definition audio codec) -> configure-> 5.1) all the speakers play a test sound, except for the subwoofer?
Should the internal subwoofer play a test sound, or is the 5.1 configuration just for external speakers? Poking around on the dell community forums, I read that some recent 1640's shipped with dead subwoofers. Just can't seem to hear any bass from where the subwoofer should be.
It didnt say when customizing it before purchase
View 3 Replies View RelatedI just got a Dell Studio XPS 1640 today and I am having a major issue with the speakers. It sounds as if the person who put the laptop together wired them incorrectly, the top speakers near the keyboard sounds very faint and tinny like a surround speaker on a home theater system, but the volume is very low and cannot hear it unless you put your ear up to the speakers.
