Silvorgold Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 does anyone here think that the speakers on the ibook are too quiet? i always have to plug in my headset now so i would be able to hear music being played on the ibook at a reasonable rate, i know its a computer built mainly for people on a budget (and need a laptop for school), but if i got a 4.1 speaker set (and splitter), would the 4.1 speakers be alot louder? thanx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamnotwhoisayiam Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 I find the iBook speakers just loud enough but thats with the volume on full. Any quieter and it would be a problem... btw.. this is my first post with my new iBook as i listen to internet radio on iTunes :D --WeeJames :ninja: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bboyroe Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 I find them pretty quiet as well, and they also seem quieter since jaguar, i never noticed thm being quiet when using 10.1, and often didn't even need to have them on full. Now under jaguar i have them on full volume all the time, except when using headphones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 I don't find them to be quite. They are laptop speakers after all. 90% of the time I have real speakers plugged in and they dont suffer at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvorgold Posted December 18, 2002 Author Share Posted December 18, 2002 i was playing itunes a bit on os9 (dont ask :p), and it seemed loud enough for me, and one of my teachers has an ibook and he plays music in class most of the time (he uses os9) and i can hear the ibook playing out in the hallway if the door is open..thats pretty loud, but on my ibook on osx.2, i need my headphones to be able to enjoy the sound, on my pc my speakers would usually be 2x louder than the ibook speakers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azazel- Posted December 18, 2002 Share Posted December 18, 2002 well, I could hear the dialog of "Goldmember" while sitting in a little building next to an idlling 747 with all 4 engines going, so I'd say the iBook speakers are good enough for me. Before you ask, it's part of my job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvorgold Posted December 18, 2002 Author Share Posted December 18, 2002 when i was watching the movie "almost famous" on my ibook, i could barely hear it :(, even at the loudest volume it can go. but one of the main things on my xmas list (has been for some time) is a set of 4.1 speakers and a splitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
