Sound volume on NC10 SE: Is the speaker volume any better on the Samsung NC10 SE?
806060
My NC10SE just arrived a couple of hours ago, and I've been able to test out the speakers. I'd say they're pretty decent for netbooks. They're certainly loud enough for you to hear music or watch a movie. However, you might have a little trouble if your listening to stuff in a loud environment. For that I would suggest headphones. Having read lots of reviews I was expecting awful sound quality, but I was pleasantly surprised. Of course, they're not going to be as loud as speakers on full size laptops due to the size limitation of the speakers themselves, but overall I can't say I'm disappointed. I never owned a standard NC10 so I can't do a direct comparison, but I bought this as a replacement for my premium VAIO SZ, which cost around 2000 bucks. The speakers on that system aren't that much better. Hope this helps.

I have not had any issues with the speakers. I do have an occasional issue with communication with Samsung tv where surround doesn't turn on when tv does but not really concerned about it.

I too have a hum at "quiet times". Which device menu are you referring to? The Onkyo Receiver or your Satellite Receiver?

YES, no problem. I like this TV, except I have to crank the volume to 100% most of the time as I am a bit hard of hearing. I guess TV Ears will be next.Bill

Daniel, this is not about NC10 vs N110, but NC10 SE vs N110it almost makes me think that NC10 SE = N110

Haven't tried that. I will give it a go today or tomorrow. Get back to me then. So I tested the unit on both program content and commercial content. Both were in the range of 38-40 db. Didn't see any difference in the sound level between them.

The audio is better than the last flat screen I owned and no longer need external speakers, I do not hear well. Hope this helped.

normally if you use an external speaker the voice quality is enhanced....and i have no issues regarding noise with this Cobra HG S300

There is a volume button on the back, but I can't really tell a difference in volume.

im just blasting music from my laptop. I did try to "tame" the speaker last night, found some balance. But then a totally different song would play and the clip light would go on again. In my bedroom I don't need much volume. But in a wide open living room, I want more. I want it to stay crisp and punchy but louder. You think I need to upgrade?

There are audio settings in the menu, I was able to play with those and get good volume. The TV is at another location so I can't help you with specifics now.

Mine was the same, so I went to Staples and found an inexpensive set of speakers with a volume control switch and an audio jack. the sound now is incrediable!! Im glad I kept it! (The speakers cost me $10 and could be used for a computer or laptop as well.)

I was using the maverick audio A1 not sold here on Amazon. Drove them very smoothly with little to no distortion at higher volumes. But yes I've heard good things about the N22 as well. Just a suggestion, if you are in the market for small bookshelves, check out the Cambridge audio S30s. I traded my P4s in for them and haven't looked back. Larger midrange cone and overall more efficient speakers for a similar price.Take care!

I went into tools and set it on amplify.That made the volume a little better. It seems the volume on all the HD tv's could use some improvement. So just play with the sound settings until you find one that is suitable. Otherwise you will probably need to invest in a soundbar. Hope this helps.

In my experience the volume was not very high either. I have a Samsung and the difference was amazing. If your TV is connected to a cable box try turning the tv volume all the way down and the turn the cable box volume all the way up. After that you should be able to get higher tv volume

I can vouch that the built in speakers on Samsung's 550 series are pretty disappointing. They fire down and back instead of forward, giving a muffled sound. IMHO Samsung's picture quality is marginally better, and I'm unsure if Sony's L line has a problem with the white "sparkles" that the W and V lines have with programming shown through HDMI, but I know on the W and V series sets that the built in sound is much better. If prices are comparable I'd go with the Sony.
