    I do fine without Dolby, Beats, or other audio. As my laptop is connected to a quality audio interface and quality amplifier and speakers. The Sennheiser headphones are excellent.

    Hello i got a problem regarding this bios update. First off al, i bought my notebook a year ego and didnt touched the bios (74cn44ww(c3.08)) at all.

    Today i wanted to renew all drivers so i did it. I left the bios for last. So i could first install all other drivers and restart my notebook before starting to update my bios.

    So i downloaded the actual version (74cn47ww(v3.08)) and tried to install it. I pressed ok on the new window and my notebook automatically rebootet and tries to update the bios right now ( iits an hour now)

    Update progress is stuck at 34
