How loud are the PicoCalc speakers supposed to be? Mine are barely audible when playing the default track.

How does it behave when you adjust the volume dial?

> hi guys, first of all, do you feel it was intentional to not provide any hole for the speakers?? … for me the sound was weird, hidden…, so when I did my screen replacement (thanks for package, fast, okay), I also took drill and did 2mm holes in the center of speakers “cages” … tested now and it is far better, imho Petr
