Internal Laptop Speaker Improvements.
Whilst there have been some recent improvements, we all know the standard of sound generally from laptop speakers is pretty grim. ...Can anyone offer any suggestions for improvements without resorting to external speakers?
Logic would seem to dictate only several potential areas (?):
1. My present (and only) sound playback default device is: 'Crystal WDM Audio' (driver version 6.13.10.6111 - from Applied Drivers Corporation - dated 25/08/03). ...Is it possible to download something 'better'? ...Haven't managed to find any more suitable version; is something completely different a possibility?
2. USB or PCMCIA sound cards (the former would be preferable, as the latter's slot is in fairly constant, but not exclusive use). ...Any recommendations? ...I know you can then plug all sorts of external things into these as well, but as before, will they do anything for the internal speakers?
Obviously I realise any sound improvement is up against the limited quality of the actual speakers themselves, but feel there is some scope here.
Any tips much appreciated.
