So your beats enabled laptop plays volume at 100% when you are looking at the volume mixer?
Not just pushing the volume up to 100.
I ask because today i saw two other beats enabled hp's that behaved the same exact way.
When I plug in my headphones they go to full blast and sound excellent but without the headphones the speakers only go up to full volume as though there is some protection software in place. I would like to disable this if at all possible
