Great video. But seriously, audio is my only Surface disappointment so far. Volume is just too low. Didn't expect deep, rich sound. But also didn't expect to be running at 100 and straining to hear a video with some background noise in a room. Been checking around to see if my device has a problem, but nothing yet. Ordered a BT wireless speaker that I will keep nearby to boost the output. But I would rather they tweak the volume level a bit with an update.
yeh its not a substantial difference with the tweak however :/There was a thread posted yesterday about volume. If you go to Control Panel and the audio properties, you'll see a few more settings, including bass enhancer and stuff like that. It makes a world of difference. I'll look for the thread...

Thanks for that. Was reluctant to turn on Loudness as it usually lowers volume, but guess I may need to tinker a bit.There was a thread posted yesterday about volume.

yeh exactly, they are actually directed the compete opposite direction of the user because of the way the sides are angled backwards.I think the speakers are fine, just that they are directed away from the user due to the design of the sides. I was sitting next to my SO and got a complaint that my music was too loud, and I had it on 58. I think sound is being directed away from the Surface. Nothing can really be done about that since it is a design choice.
I use my Jabra Halos though and the sound with those is always great!
that would be awesome!so basically, devise "ears" that clip or magnetically attach to the sides and direct the sound forward. I noticed a difference just by cupping my hand behind the speaker.
