HP IPAQ h1940 LOUDER than HP IPAQ h4150???

[kahchong]

When I first used the HP IPAQ h1940 and then upgraded to the HP IPAQ h4150 due to the WLAN, I noticed something, the sound produced including the system tone of the HP IPAQ h1940 seens to be louder than the HP IPAQ h4150, anyone can explain this?

I wondered anyone knew about this problem?

Thanks! :D

I'm not aware of where the speaker on the 4150 is located. I assume it's under the D-pad.

If so, the 1940 may have a less closed D-pad structure so the sound can come out from beneath the D-pad better than the 4150's D-pad. A good analogy is if you cover the D-pad with your thumb, less sound can come out because your thumb acts as a barrier. So obviously, with more 'open-ness' between the speaker through the D-pad and the open air, the louder it may seem.

Otherwise, the sound architecture implemented in the two devices may be different.

Those are my thoughts anyway.
