I should point out that I noticed a few days ago I could no longer hear the sounds made on this laptop. You know, like the ding that goes off when e-mail arrives or the other assorted dings and pings that notifications make on other assorted software. I couldn’t even hear the “crunch” sound that’s made when you throw out and delete trash. I just didn’t think not hearing that stuff was that big a deal, especially when I couldn’t afford to waste time dealing with the IT department (who are in India) when I’m trying to complete projects.

But now that this lack of sound is going to effect online meetings (and let’s be real, when working with others who are located hundreds of miles away being able to hear them in meetings is a pretty big deal) I may have to look into getting this corrected.
