41

Which BIOS version are you using?

Which Framework Laptop 16 model are you using? (AMD Ryzen™ 7040 Series)

I recently purchased framework 16 and I’ve been liking the laptop.
However audio volume seems to be quite low (even at max)
I’ve enabled audio compatibility in BIOS settings.

I’ve tried laptop speakers and bone conduction BT headphone. In both cases volume is low, is there some other settings I need to change? Or is it just normal volume behavior for this laptop? (Do wired speaker / headphone work better? - I need to be able to hear surroundings so never tried this)

Looks like my audio jack is not tight enough (Framework | Audio Expansion Card). I’m using 3.5mm AUX cables and they don’t sit correctly, I need to wiggle them around and I can hear good volume.

Should I just buy another 3.5 mm jack?
