I have a m1730.  When I use the X-Fi I get no sound from my laptop speakers. I only get sound if I plug in headphones to the card.  Even then the sound is extremely loud and the volume controls(windows and volume controls on the front of the pc) do nothing to adjust the sound.
First off it is my first experience working with the X-Fi card add on.  Should I get sound out of my speakers when using it?  Also is there any way to adjust or control the volume of it?

Thanks.
