Audio Notes for Model C Computers (Fn + 5)
Model C computers (Model C only) feature the Fn +5
key combination to toggle between standard audio and
enhanced audio. Note the following which applies to
software mode audio configuration through the com-
puter's internal speakers only (this does not apply to
surround sound when configured through external Qua-
drophonic, 5.1 or 7.1 speaker systems):
• When the Speaker Configuration in Realtek HD Audio
Manager is set to Stereo, you can use the Fn + 5 key com-
bination to help increase the volume through the speakers.
• When the Speaker Configuration in Realtek HD Audio
Manager is set to Quadrophonic, 5.1/7.1 Speaker, the
best audio configuration will be obtained with the combi-
nation of the Speaker Configuration set to Quadro-
phonic, 5.1/7.1 Speaker, and the THX TruStudio AP
turned ON.
Note that the Fn + 5 key combination is a toggle so you
will need to press the key combination to test if the affect
is applied or not.
