MB users.... I just had a listen to a CD on my MB and i must say that the speaker sound quality is terrible! Can hardly hear a thing coming out and even with max volume in iTunes and the system volume, the sound coming out is only medium loud.
Anybody having the same problem or is this something i should be worried about???

Same here

Nope for its ok.

for me, i just plug it to my Altec Lansing speakers..

you can't expect much from tiny speakers, can you....?

yup... same shitty sound... but plug in earphones or any external speakers and u will be quite happy adi... especially when u r Skype-ing...

Else you have the Pro series which come with better speaker with a 3rd center speaker as well. What you pay is what you get. They have to cut the cost on parts, so, cant complain much. Just hook up a headphone or external speaker.

If you're Hi-Fi freak, you should get external soundcard too

i think owned a Macbook is more than enough oredi.. if want louder sound why dun you go for Portable Sound Speaker ??

Its standard

iBook/MacBook comes with crappy speakers...Thats why I like COMPAQ/HP Lappies , pretty loud speakers by Altec Lansing....

i thought compaq/hp comes with JBL speakers.

only for HP/Compaq laptops...correct me if i'm wrong!

thanks for the reply guys... i just thought that with the macbook and all the hype going on about it, the product would be alittle bit more decent... These speakers are as bad as the ones on my old Fujitsu P-series A4 size laptop...
Oh well... external speakers/headphones is the way to go then....

can external soundcard add into the PB or Macbook Pro??

you can add, but not "into"....

and forget about creative.

i'm also facing the same problem . sad .

To add an external soundcard - you can purchase those USB based external soundcard for the mac- not sure if they are supported for mac TIGER OS since ive never tried one-

anyone care to share their experience on USB Soundcards?

For those of you who've got XP on your Macbooks, don't you notice that the volume is higher when using XP?

I think it's a software thing which Apple could fix with an update.

yeah...i noticed that too...A LOT higher.....

and the earphone port has red light shining from it......dunno what is that also...

red light from the earphone port?? Apa tu???
