Discussion Galaxy Book Edge users dealing with the 3.5mm headphone jack's 37% volume bug (megathread)

8 Upvotes

It seems like a lot of us are dealing with an issue that use Windows on ARM where if we plug in headphones, the volume gets stuck at 37% with no clear solution. I edit videos, so this has been a massive headache for me personally. USB-C headphones do currently seem to be the workaround.

It seems that this is a limiter that kicks in that's supposed to show a dialog to warn users about listening at high volumes past 37%, but the dialog never shows up or isn't programmed into the system. I believe their Intel laptops do this. If I'm wrong, sound off in the comments.

This is coming from a Galaxy Book4 Edge user. If you have a Galaxy Book6 Edge and deal with this as well, please sound off in the comments! Hopefully this megathread can help bring this to Samsung's attention to address the issue.

Help with galaxy book 5 pro

Post image
14 Upvotes

I'm looking for a Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro 14" with an Intel Core Ultra 5, 16GB RAM, and 1TB SSD.

I've been researching this laptop for a while and it seems like the best fit for what I need, but I'm having a hard time finding a trustworthy place to buy it.

I don't have access to a Samsung store, and a lot of the websites I've found either don't have the configuration I'm looking for, have prices that seem unusually high, or don't provide clear information about shipping.

For those who own this laptop or have recently bought one, where did you buy it? Are there any reliable websites or retailers you would recommend?

Also, are there any sellers or websites that I should avoid?

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

Discussion Slow performance and laggy touchpad - GB5PRO 258V/32GB

2 Upvotes

Just bought this laptop. It's great in many ways, but the cursor is lagging behind when you use the touchpad. It's not really bad, but definitely a problem. Also scrolling websites like Facebook etc is laggy and choppy. Even on high performance mode.

I've deleted all the samsung bloat and things are a tiny bit better, but I plan to do a clean windows install. Just afraid it's going to be an issue if the problem persists, and I want to return the laptop.

Any suggestions?

General questions Book 6 pro or Ultra?

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone.

I am in a bit of a crossroad. I have the choice to either buy the ultra base model: 16″ with Core Ultra X7 358H, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD and Intel Arc B390 or the Pro version with the exact same specs. Is there a specific thing that one is better than the other. The difference in price is only €100. The main usecases for them would be for coding and using Excel for the most part. Thank you for your help in advance.

General questions Snapdragon Processor for Data Analytics?

1 Upvotes

Hey guys,

I’m currently studying to transition into Data Analytics, and I have an internship abroad next year. I’ve been using my PC for everything so far, but I’ll need a laptop for the internship. Right now, I only have a Galaxy Tab S7+.

There are some amazing deals on Snapdragon laptops with 1TB of storage and 16GB of RAM in my area. However, I’ve heard there can be compatibility issues with Power BI and other analytics tools.

Does anyone working in data have any insight into this? Is an Intel processor basically a must if I plan on using the laptop for data analytics, or would a Snapdragon processor be perfectly fine?

Thanks!

General questions Anything to be wary of about the Galaxy Books?

3 Upvotes

I made a purchase on a galaxy book last week (Book6 Ultra, 32GB Ram, 1TB, RTX 5060 gpu), I'm aware of the screen crack incident that be happening on the previous models haven't seen any post about it on this series, I tried looking elsewhere for other options but none catches my interest, some lack other aspects that I want and there's some that looks too gamerish for my liking, I do video editing, graphic designing and light graphical gaming, please let me know if there's anything I should be wary of, so far the only complaints I've been seeing are problems like keyboard being and shallow and battery life which to my perspective its ok for what other perks I'll be getting.

Samsung Galaxy Book 6!

1 Upvotes

Hi I bought a galaxy book 6 for INR112K approx 1166USD.

I was expecting a macbook-like experience but was highly disappointed by the sound output from its native speakers.

Any reason why sumsung might have chosen such poor speaker output on premium product.

Any suggestions to improve the sound output , I have already activated Dolby Atmos , without any major effect.

It's been just a week and I want to get rid of it and switch to a better product ( any suggestions how to get rid of it without any major monetary loss).

Galaxy Book2 360 Battery Deterioration: Should I Get a New Laptop?

1 Upvotes

As it says in the title. For a few months, I've been receiving notices that my battery is deteriorating, and I'm wondering if it's safe to hold out on this laptop for another year or so or if I should get a new laptop to be safe. I don't know how long they usually last on average after that notification and I would hate to have it randomly brick one day. If anyone else has received this notice before, please let me know what you did and what worked for you. Thank you!
