Get more from your small speakers

One of the features that I liked from my Samsung Q1 was the sound quality. The Q1 was prepared with drivers with SRS capability. Yesterday browsing the web I found that you can get the same sound quality in any UMPC or Netbook by just installing SRS Audio SandBox.
The SRS Audio Sandbox was designed recognizing audio has become more important as many people use their PC for entertainment, both at home and on the road. With SAS you can customize your audio experience based on music, movie, video or game content.
Let me tell you… the sound on my P1610 was just horrible and after installing this program I enjoyed playing music again like I did before in my old Samsung Q1. Fantastic! A Must Have!
































But then it eats up CPU and battery life.. an important consideration.
Because this is one thing that I care about when I install these kind of programs. And No, it did not observe any hit on my processor by using it. In fact, I felt that the processor was getting less hit.
About battery life… If the processor is not getting hit that much you wont be wasting that much of battery to care about it.
Thanks for posting information about this software! I’ve installed the demo verison to my UMPC and it has greatly improved the sound quality on it.
I haven’t noticed much difference in the CPU and I don’t usually run stuff like that on battery power anyway.
