Is it possible to adjust an enternal soundcard so it will put out more volume? I ask this as in a previous post I mentioned my volume output via earphone jack from a new laptop was less than 50% of what it was with my old laptop. Needless to say if I can't get this puppy to crank up it's volume I will either have to get an external soundcard (and I just spend 600.00 on this Lenovo so I will hate to do that) of just get another laptop.

There is just not enough volume to drive the PA without having to vrank the PA volume up to the point of distortion. I am grateful for any and all advice.

PS: I am trying to reach Lenovo to ask this same question, but response is very slow.

Thanks,
