Having issues with Dell Inspiron 15 settings

I purchased a new computer and am facing several issues; I am an American user of the Windows 8.1 operating system.
1. Why does my brightness dim automatically when I unplug the power adapter, even though the power management settings in the Control Panel are set to maximum for battery mode, and all brightness levels are maxed out?
2. Why is the text on this laptop incredibly tiny? I attempted to adjust the display scaling from medium to large, but then everything became oversized. Furthermore, on Chrome, roughly 99% of websites appear strangely narrow; the text is minuscule and the layout doesn't span the width of the screen like it does in Mozilla, yet zooming in causes the entire page to distort. I tried tweaking things within the Chrome settings, but to no avail. The screen is Full HD.
3. I downloaded the audio drivers for the laptop, which included a Dolby Digital plus program for music settings. However, within that software, there are only four audio modes available, none of which reproduce the sound accurately—they all distort it terribly—and I have no way to adjust anything other than selecting those three modes. If I disable Dolby Digital plus, the sound quality becomes even more catastrophic.
4. Additionally, the fan is extremely loud, despite the fact that I am not running any demanding applications that would require such intense cooling. It usually runs loudly for about half an hour and then goes completely silent; I am unsure if this is normal or if there is a way to mitigate it.
I hope someone can provide some assistance; I am happy to provide further details if necessary.

1. I managed to resolve this entirely.
2. Certain pages are still far too small; specifically, they aren't scaled correctly compared to how they appear in Mozilla.
3. This remains unresolved, as I cannot locate an equalizer.
4. This issue has also been resolved.
However, a fifth problem has emerged: when playing Full HD video, the image seems to stutter; it lacks the fluidity I experience on my smartphone or what I was accustomed to on my previous laptop.
I will begin detailing my issues to her. 🙂
