Sound volume on NC10 SE There are reports that the speaker volume on the standard NC10 is not very loud. Is the speaker volume any better on the Samsung NC10 SE?

I agree with NY. The speakers on the NC10 SE are perfectly acceptable given that this is an netbook costing a just $469. My only meaningful complaint about the NC10SE is that 2MB of RAM is not standard. I had to fiddle around for quite a while last night trying to get the memory card seeded in just right.

I have had my NC10 SE for about a week now and there is definitely an issue with the volume from the built-in speakers. Initially, it was absolutely unacceptable so I tinkered around a bit, changed some settings and set the sound to "laptop speakers" instead of "desktop". That made a significant difference, and now I find that the volume is acceptable for everything EXCEPT skype calls. Bottom line is that this is a good computer and this issue, while disappointing, should not be a deal breaker but Samsung has room for improvement for the next model.

That problem was solved by me on NC10, probably works on special edittion too:http://sammynetbook.com/plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?14449.post

i have the same "buzzing" sound coming from the vent on the left rear side. not sure if its normal but im going to set up service call to confirm.*update*ive been tweaking the settings and the buzzing seems to go way down if you put the contrast on about 50%, thus throwing the picture quality off. ive decided im going to send this tv back and replace it with the samsung lcd.

It's pretty loud but of course like any tv, they have generic paper cone speakers so you're not going to get the best sound. I don't go past 20 one the volume and that's about the quarter way of the volume bar so I'm sure it's pretty loud.

Kevin, I have the HD but I cannot comment on the SE. I am very happy with the HD.

I haven't noticed any hum. The tv has been great. The only complaint I have is the speakers in the tv aren't the greatest but I use a sound bar. If your debating on getting this tv I would personally say do it. It was worth every penny to me.

There is a small speaker symbol on the console - every time you push it, the volume goes up. I plug in my droid and listen to the music I have downloaded. I had the volume up to 12 tonight and it was plenty loud, even turned it down a little (other speaker symbol) - Hope this helps!

Not to cast any aspersions on the accuracy Rick's information, but is there anybody else who can independently verify this? I'm not sure what the advantage of the N110 would be over the NC10 SE if this is true.

I suggest you keep the NC10SE and skip the 110. The NC110 has a maximum 1GB of RAM vs the 2 GB of RAM that you can upgrade to with the NC10 line. I too considered waiting for the NC110 but called Samsung after hearing rumors that the NC110 would max out at 1 GB. They confirmed it and had no explaination why.

I'm annoyed by the answers the other users left. It all depends on the brand and options of your TV. I had a Samsung that would not allow you to control the volume of external speakers through the TV's volume control. Now I have a Sony that allows me to do this seamlessly. The Sony has an option in the sound settings that allows you to do this. It's possible on a higher end Samsung that this option is present but on mine there was not.

The LG flat panel TV's have internal speakers. On the model we have the sound is very good and able to be louder than the LCD panel it replaced. There are several settings for altering the sound quality as well.

Hello,Did you ever figure this out? I just bought this TV last night and I'm very happy with it, but I use a surround sound system and have to keep the TV volume on 0. There should be a way to turn the speakers off - right?Thanks for any info.

No, not that I have noticed. I am pretty sensitive regarding sound, formally being a professional vocalist. Sound is extremely important to me. This was a concern when I ordered the case but from what I have been able to detect, the sound has not been affected on my Galaxy Note 3.

Unless you want theater sound,you don't have to spend money on external speakers. Either Tools or menu selections you will be able to adjust the sound. At present my Samsung is set on the movie setting and I have found this setting more than adequate. I hope this helps.

I do not hear any popping on the Samsung 4661. I never really listen for it or are that close to it to know for sure though. I would imagine that everything is fine with it. Maybe its just the electricity or static electricity you are hearing. Not an expert so maybe someone else can shed some light.

It is quite a bit louder than the Samsung we had previously. It works fine but I would not call it quiet.

US version N110-12PBK has 2GB RAM max on specs, i did not find one single difference between N110-12PBK and NC10 SE (even the price is identical). It looks N110 will be available for purchase around April 20th in US (it's on pre-order almost on all sites). I'm thinking to buy it, where did you see 1GB max, it could really change my choice.http://www.samsung.com/us/consumer/detail/spec.do?group=computersperipherals&type;=mobilecomputing&subtype;=mininotebook&mode;l_cd=NP-N110-KA01USthank youjiri
