Laptops feature thin profiles, getting thinner with each generation it seems, so the size of built-in speakers is very limited - and hence audio quality often suffers. Such small speakers behave in a very different way from larger, stand-alone speakers or even headphones. In order to get the best listening experience from them, or any output device, audio settings should be tuned to match the speakers as best as possible.

Conclusion
THX TruStudio Pro is a great example of the sort of software that we do include on our systems, because it has a direct tie to the functionality of the hardware.

Hopefully this information can help prevent such a problem, but of course our support department is here to help as well if any customers need further advice on how to get the most out of their Puget Systems computer.
