Why can't I hear low bass sounds on my laptop?
JamesAther
My laptop doesn't seem to be able to play low bass notes in music making software, is there a way to fix this? I'm using an Acer Aspire 5532
Thanks
Answer
As "mediocre" as acers are, (cough cough), this is NOT thier fault.
Your laptop has speakers the size of a quarter and it is driven by an amp that runs in the miliwatt range. Do you know why guys with boom cars brag about having 18 inch woofers and even better, quad mounted 10's? Your acer only has INTEGRATED audio, not a real sound card. You can NEVER get high fidelity out of integrated audio, but it will be good enough to do very ROUGH mixes on. You only have a single core processor. Having dual core would help alot. You only have 3G of ramm which is not enough to mix on, PLUS you computer is running in "single channel" memory mode. You should get 4G and preferably get a 64 bit OS. With 32 bit your computer still uses the memory, behind the scenes, but it does not "report" it while in the OS because of hardware virtualization.
There is NO way to get true bass, or even true high fidelity out of a laptop. ANY laptop. If you are doing mixing for personal mix tapes, you should go ahead and use your computer for doing the graphical user interface to the mixing console, but you should output to a preamp/amp then to a set of monitors. At the VERY least, you should be outputting to a decent (bose, akg, sennheiser, grado) set of headphones or to a set of "computer speakers". Logitech and klipsch make halfway decent computer speakers, but they are NOTHING compared to an amp/preamp/monitor set up. You can get inexpensive consumer/semi pro equipment at any musician store.
BTW, you'd be much better off mixing with a desktop unless you have really carpy software.
While you're at it, max out your ramm and consider getting a halfway decent HD. Stock OEM HD's are horrible and slow, and acer uses particularly "cheap" components. While it is good to be frugal, it is NOT good to be cheap.
EDIT: @ starPC11, You had a great idea with the accessory sound card, BUT he does not have pcmcia OR the "current generation" express card slot. He's got an acer 5532. He can not add an accessory sound card on that unit. Even if he did, laptop sound cards are not sufficient to do mixing with, but it would be worlds better than what he has now.
