    woofer? все решается очень просто - в регуляторе громкости жмёшь параметры - ставишь галочку дополнительные параметры. под микрофоном появляется кнопка Настройка. Жмешь на нее и ставишь галку усиление микрофона. и всё прекрасно работает.

    omg, russians everywhere))
    This problems resolves simply by turning on microphone boost in microphone advanced properties

    If it were so easy... It doesn't work. I've tried it in the very begining. Microphone still doesn't work propely. I was looking for some software which capture sound on the driver level and amplify it, but didn't find.

    PhpRu. Привет, купил себе m50vm 1B, такая же проблема как и у тебя, пищит звук при любом запущенном приложении, как решить не знаю уже, качаю дрова 217, посмотрим что получится... Очень расстроил этот факт, а ноут действительно хороший.

    Anybody tried installing windows 7?
    I have an Asus M50VM-B1 and installed Windows 7-x64 ...most of the vista x64 drivers worked just fine, except for the bluetooth drivers.
    Initially i had a problem with my optical disk drive, but i guess after installing some upgrades from MS, it works just fine.
    Just want to know if anybody else has any issues?

    bizmark03 - i've installed build700 x64. haven't any problems with bluetooth, but i've got a bug - after waking up from suspend mode sound is disappeared((
    it's beacause of unstable release, i think.
    Mexan1k - пищит у меня именно при инициализации звукового тракта. причем заметил интересный факт -если включить в настройках воспроизведения микрофон и на середину выставить громкость, то пищание пропадает ;)

    Hai all,

    My fiance borrow my laptop including all the manual and disk. I am not sure if there is a windows installation on the beg.

    So does Asus M50 come with windows home premium installation cd? or it is just a recovery disk?

    hey guy, sorry to revive a older model thread, but did/was the mutiple keypress issue fix ever solved? I see there is a newer bios ( in comparison to mine ) on the asus download site. does this fix the issue?

    It would be great to have multiple key presses for games like tomb raider and devil may cry haha

    Here is a version 2 of the XP driver pack I compiled. Contains newer version bluetooth driver and a new Nvidia VGA driver. Also HDMI audio driver from first driver pack was not needed anymore, so it was removed

    I put this driver pack together to try and make it more convenient when trying to install XP to an Asus M50VM-B1 notebook computer. All 'Fn' keys work, including ambient light sensor 'ctrl+A'. There are no yellow flags in 'Device Manager'.

    Hope this helps somebody. File can be downloaded from link below :

    Yes.
    Here You may download drivers for Win 7:
    http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=403545
    This collection was made by user "Turbogear".

    On my FTP server there are only (as yet): ATK, webcam, Touchpad DualMode drivers and BIOS.
    I use Win 7 x64 on my m50Vm-B1 and works great.

    BTW:
    There is new BIOS for m50Vx models ;)

    Hi guys,

    This Laptop is great, but I think I need a newer and bigger hard drive. Can I just replace it with a newer and install the OS?

    Sure you can. Make sure your new drive is a 2.5" SATA interface. You can use a cloning utility such as Acronis True Image to clone your entire hard drive if you want to save yourself some time from reinstalling the OS, drivers and copying all your files from your old drive.

    ShepTR, Did you ever find a solution to this? I know this is a very old post, I'm just hoping someone has found a solution. I'm experiencing the same issue. I bought this machine a year or so ago and it works great for everything except games. It slows down after a few minutes of playing Titan Quest, Civ IV, Torchlight, etc.
    Thanks for any help :)

    Thanks pal, I just updated the Hard Drive. I got a 500 Gb 7200 RPM. Works fantastic.

    Now I got a new challenge. I need to get my Hannspree LCD HD TV to work as an extended desktop through the HDMI cable. I updated the Nvidia Drivers and I can only duplicate the Desktop, but not extend it. Audio works perfectly through HDMI.

    hey guys. first post here. i am highly considering buying this laptop used. i have two main concerns, though:

    - i want to add in an internal bluray drive. i don't need it for writing, just reading. is it possible? how difficult is the installation and any recommendations on drives?
    - does the graphics card hold up to some of today's/near future standards? i don't need the settings to be ultra high, just enough to play some steam games decently.

    thanks guys for a great thread.
