Hi
One last comment, if I may. I almost prefer the MacBook speaker volume lower as I feel I likely fried my Ti speakers because of trying to hear it better. I want my MacBook max volume to be lower than that of which can damage the speakers, even if it is too quiet for any 'real' use. Headphones aren't that bad if one really needs to listen to things.
Sound on the MacBook is low...is yours?

I don't see it as a show stopper. I wasn't expecting a boombox from the MB. I wanted to make sure it was working correctly.

Totally unacceptable volume. And with the firmware update to "fix" the fans, now when I video iChat the fans come on FULL POWER. And i can't hear the person I'm ideo chatting. Ad all they hear on the other end is the friggin fans AT FULL POWER.
Apple sucks lately. I bought two MacBooks and both the same. Quailty of Apple products is all about mediocrity now. Thy are just another computer company shipping out mediocrity.
Does anyone at Apple get the prototype MacBook and even try a video iChat? If they did, then they would know of this volume issue. I swear, Apple builds computers now without anyone getting a first run off he assembly line and using it.
Azzholes. And we just get reamed with bad quality.

Hi
I'd highly suspect [based on experience] that the lower average volume is to prevent the small speakers from distorting and burning themselves up.

I don't think the sound is bad. I can hear my music with the speakers pretty well, and they don't sound any quieter than either of the two Dell laptops we've got laying around.
I mean, for speakers this small I wasn't expecting much.
It's better than the mono speaker on the one Dell we've got. Cheap County issued laptops!

My MB Pro produces plenty enough sound on max, but yes, I can see teh somewhat non-linear meter progression. The sound does seem about half after just two bars down. I think that has to do with headphones, so the same meter works pretty well for both.
