Product: Spectre x360 13-4103dx
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have a new Spectre x360 13-4103dx. Having a little trouble hearing
the sound from Netflix when the laptop is used tented, in bed, so that the
speakers are on the bottom of the tent V, and close to a blanket.
Sound volume set to maximum.
A little better in normal laptop position, with the front end where the
speakers are located is tilted upward.

Sound is much better with laptop on a desk. Best in normal laptop position.

Now this may sound a bit dumb, since, of course the blanket will absorb
some of the sound, but I got a few questions:

 

1. The speakers themselves are supposed to be Bang and Olufsen, but User Manual
is vague on this point. Driver is Conexant SmartAudio HD. Is there some other driver
I might install that would allow me to set the volume higher ? I see on the user forum
that many folks experienced crackling from the sound system. Not me. Not yet.
I also see there is a different driver on the support website -- a Realtek HD Audio driver.
Advice ?


2. Some attention has clearly been given to the sound subsystem. Does anyone know if
the speakers (on underside, front, of keyboard) are designed to project toward the user
of the keyboard so that they project directly downward in the tented position ?
