May be Optional By Mark Wright This will be a LONG REVIEW, but will potentially save you some headaches. By the end of this review you'll see that I discovered I do not need external speakers at all. That may not be true for you, in which case the VAAS is excellent.I'm retired from two careers as a professional musician and computer database programmer. I own a laptop which was rated highly by reviewers for it's speakers. Yet when I played certain videos on it (some of the videos being home-made by family members), the volume was too low (even with it turned all the way up) to be easily heard by multiple people seated around a living room. This VAAS audio bar taught me a lot about my laptop, for which I am grateful, and I'll share my discoveries here since much of what I learned may apply to your laptop model as well.First of all, here are the 3 reasons I chose the VAAS:1. I read reviews that stated it helped greatly to increase a laptop's volume (my need).2. I wanted a sound bar because it makes it much easier to move the laptop around without needing to find a flat surface to hold a 1 or 2 speaker system that needs a surface to sit on.3. I wanted a 'USB-only' speaker system, which provides the system interface and power AS WELL AS the audio signal through ONE cable (the USB cable), as opposed to speakers that use 2 cables - a USB cable for the system interface and power, plus a mini-plug audio cable to plug into your laptop's headphone (or audio-out) jack.When I received my new VAAS, it came with no manual. I wondered where the cable was, and then saw that the design is very elegant and well thought out by the engineers. It makes a nice package for on-the-go trips since the USB cable wraps once around the outside edge of the soundbar where there is a groove to hold the cord as well as a recessed notch to tightly store the USB plug end.I placed the sound bar on the top of my 17' laptop screen (I'm guessing it would fit on any screen over 11' - the soundbar 'feet' need at least 9.3' to sit on). It easily slid into place and was fairly secure as well.I started one of my 'lower-volume' videos and plugged the USB cable in. The cable was a perfect length (even with my large 17' wide-screen laptop) to reach a USB input without the cable being too taut (a couple of inches to spare). Windows 7 proceeded to download and install the matching driver for the device. When done, the audio continued to come to the laptop speakers. I rebooted the laptop leaving the soundbar plugged in, started the video and the audio again came to the laptop speakers.To explain what I next did, I should say that I use a highly rated freeware program called PotPlayer to play videos. I'll explain the changes I made in it's settings to get my needed results, and your video software should have similar configuration choices (or you could download and install PotPlayer to match my actions exactly). I proceeded to:1. Right-click on the video area.2. Click Audio.3. Click Audio Renderer.4. Write down the current setting in case you want to go back to it. Mine was set to 'Select Automatically (recommended)'5. ![]() Click DirectSound Speakers (2- USB Headphone Set)Note that step 5 may say something else on your laptop, but will probably include the word 'USB' in the description.Now the audio goes to the soundbar, and it's twice as loud. My laptop function keys for changing volume do nothing. However the PotPlayer volume keys (up/down arrows) work fine or I can click/drag it's volume bar. The soundbar did not distort the audio at the highest volume setting, which is a good sign.Note that when setting the Audio Renderer to the USB speakers in a piece of software, that other programs are not affected. So, if I unplug the soundbar and try to use PotPlayer, I'll hear no sound (unless I re-configure it to the original audio setting).
