How's the audio on this laptop?

considering i had a dinosaur of a laptop before, not sure how reliable my input is, but personally the audio system on it is great! with the right set of headphones, you only need about 4 bars of volume to tune out most loud noises. the speakers are pretty loud, too.

It is fair like most laptops. If I wanted to listen to sometime special, I use my Microsoft LifeChat 3000 ear phones. I am hard of hearing so my opinion shouldn't count for much.

The audio is fine. I usually have mine turned off & only use it when I want to.

I'm not a gamer, but I can say that the sound coming through the speakers is crisp and full when playing music -- much better sound than just using the laptop speakers.

Very good sound for a laptop; really. Listened to new Arcade Fire live concert via NPR and could enjoy it just fine. Not audiophile quality, but better than I expected. Satellite... of love. Great concert, check it out.

I bought the Asus 1005HA-P a few months ago and I have the same audio problem. It's like the jack lost its 'tightness'... I guess I'll test out the warranty soon. Keep you posted.

Is it worth getting this speaker to use with a laptop, instead of one with two speakers or a bigger one? Can it compete against regular speakers?

I have listened to music and watched movies etc on this laptop with the privilege of a quiet environment and not quiet environments. With every experience I was and still am satisfied with the sound quality even when listening at maximum volumes. This is a great laptop allround!

It actually depends on the video card. Radeon 5000/6000/7000 series will carry audio over hdmi. The laptop most likely had the capability to display but not pass thru audio. I'm not too sure on which nvidia cards do it

I read that audio is not supported, BUT will the laptop/chromebook audio speakers still work or by plugging into the HDMI port it cuts out the audio of the laptop.

yes, I haven't had any trouble with the sound. You need a USB slot and the plug for the jack to plug into the computer.

All sound issues I was having with this laptop were fixed when I installed the latest windows sound drivers. I got them directly from microsofta website. After that I had no issues at all.

Thanks Kanje, I will keep that in mind. So far the only gripe I have is the lack of volume. If I could do something about that. Might keep ad a work computer only as I got it at a reduced price.

It's ok. Lower end 720p performance. And the wide angle lens is unnecessary for laptop use. For the money it's worth it. But id save for the Logitech imo

It sounds pretty good. The mic input is only stereo though so if you are looking for 5.1 the built in mic is your only option.

its pretty good. it does have some issues with skype though but I've used them for gaming and it works fine. (skype might be the issue though it works very poorly on windows 8)

Several people have used my laptop for Minecraft and TF2 multiplayer online gaming and the feedback has been satisfactory. The Beats Audio speakers also adds to the gaming experience.

No, but that may be a subjective thing. The speakers are plenty loud for me, except for an occasional Youtube video. They aren't as loud as my last laptop, a higher end Dell specializing in entertainment. I knew going in that the sound on this laptop would be average.

The audio that comes out of the speakers seemed OK for the price/size of this netbook. However when under chromeos, the volume was a little too low even when set to max. After I switched to Ubuntu, I was able to boost the volume to really decent levels.
