This 2021 Acer laptop ( A515-56-36UT/ NX.AASAA.001) with Intel’s latest Core i3-1115G4 processor is a solid, general-purpose laptop with a decent battery life of about 6-8 hours, depending on what you do with it. Vendors cannot influence the review, neither a positive nor negative evaluation affects membership, and item’s value may be taxable income. I had also recently reviewed a HP Chromebook 14 and will provide some comparisons for those of you considering Google’s ChromeOS laptops.ĭisclosure: This product was received through Amazon Vine, an Amazon invite-only program offered to its most helpful reviewers for an honest, unbiased, unpaid opinion. For this particular review of the Acer Aspire 5 (2021), my extensive experience with Android, Apple iOS, and Windows phones and tablets will lend a helping hand in understanding what this laptop may or may not be suitable for.
I am an enthusiast through-and-through who likes to explore the latest in the industry. Still the effect is much louder without extra hardware or intrusive (distorting equalizing) pay-software.I have been in the professional IT industry for over 18 years and tinker with technology all the time for both work and fun. Music will also gain from this trick, but when it is already loud, some compression will occur as to avoid clipping. This is especially noticeable when watching those youtube videos that have the audio mixed to low. You will now have an extra 10 dB (which is a LOT) gain. Then adjust the front left and front right speakers to +10 dB (remove the check for the center, subwoofer and side pair. Then configure your speakers as a 5.1 (or 7.1) surround set. And, as an added bonus, it does so without clipping.ĭouble click the “speaker” icon of the Realtek driver. The windows build in Audio Processing Objects, or APOs, (of which the loudness enhancement is one object) are a great feature, but I found nobody developing usable software that uses the library (?)īut if you are in luck of having Realtek HD Audio hardware, the driver software can be setup so it gives you an extra boost.
Sometimes the “loudness” enhancement (build into windows) rather dampened the volume!! I also tried DSP and DX plugins, but they are a nightmare to implement on system sounds. There are a few solutions that work well, but I found them to be either to cumbersome or not effective enough. Have you ever wanted to increase the volume of a video or music track, but found that everything was already set to 100%?
