Love new Vaio but speakers dire!

[hawthorn59]

Hi Folks

Im pretty much delighted with my new Sony Vaio laptop,  but do have a couple of queries which I hope someone might give an  opinion on!

1 Sometimes it seems to be a little slow....coming  out of hibernation eg. Also there are 93 processes running when I  startup! Is this a lot? Sadly I cant identify most of them and wouldnt  know what ones to stop!

2 The laptop speakers are dire as regards  volume. It is almost impossible to hear them in a room. Whereas with  all previous laptops I could listen to music from them reasonably well. I  have the volume control well up....wonder are there any other  adjustments I should be making?

3 I use 2 cheap Creative speakers  (no bass unit) which are fine for my needs. However on this laptop,  there is a slight buzzing from the speakers. It gets a lot worse if I  unplug the lead from the headphone (?) socket. And wont die down until I  move the lead or speakers well away from the laptop. I never had this  issue with 2 previous laptops and these speakers. Could in fact this be  related to query 2?

The model is VPCEB3F4E

Thanks!

Well at least you have sound , of sorts!?

I bought a Vaio, and the speakers do not work at all.

Was advised by tech support to wipe all software I had put on,

this didn't work, so it's going back, and I'm without laptop.
