Loudspeaker

Postby Pete_S » January 17th, 2011, 1:32 pm

Does anyone else find the built in amp/speaker poor? I don't expext miracles but it could do with a bit more volume and be a bit less tinny. My partner's iPad, for all its faults, has far better sounding and louder audio.

I've got some experience with modding stuff, so when I can be bothered to get off my a**e and take the Scroll apart, I'm going to see if a better speaker (from RS or Maplin) would fit and be compatible.

If anyone's thinking along similar lines, pls let me know.

I have also found the scroll to be a bit tinny through headphones.

I use either my noise cancelling headphones (From Aldi) or my sony in-ear jobbies (From my walkman phone) and the sound is nicely bass filled :)
