摘要

The computer system (1) comprises a user interface for controlling the computer system, and an audio unit (2) converts digital audio signals into analog audio signals. An audio output (4) is provided, which is functionally connected with the audio unit for connecting a headphone (3). The audio unit comprises a loudness limiting device (6), which is arranged to limit the signal level of the analog audio signal at the audio output to a pre-determined maximum level. A deactivation unit is provided, which is arranged to deactivate the loudness limiting device on user demand. An independent claim is also included for a method for limiting a signal level of an audio output.
