Very low sound volume on Skype, but OK on everything else

I know this subject has already been raised but I have tried all the suggestions on other posts on this topic, but still the volume of Skype is very low. I can only hear the conversation in a very quiet environment. The same low volume applies when I check the sound in Skype or do a test call. I am using an Acer laptop (built in speakers) and Windows Vista which is up to date. All sliders on the sound mixer are on 100% and the box Automatically Adjust Speaker Settings in Skype is unticked. I am using a recent version of Skype (installed about a month ago) The sound volume on iTunes and other applications is absolutely fine! Please keep explanations simple, I am not a computer expert... Thank you!

Skype was working then became very quiet.I am on Win7/64 Creative soundcard, Latest Skype
The solution (for me) was simple.
Go to: Skype>Tools>Options>Audio Settings>Speakers
In my set up there is a dropdown to select what speakers Skype should use. It was using Digital Audio Interface There was also another option called "Speakers" I chose speakers and the volume returned to match the rest of the system
How it got set incorrectly is a mystery. I guess "Gargy Watts" must have set it, as my old mum used to say... or the Skype Fairy has been fiddling, as I have other things on my mind rather than fiddling with Skype settings and I'm the only one to use the PC!
I hope this helps some of you guys and gals

TS4079 Sometimes Siri's volume automatically goes so low that I can not hear it. Then the next time I ask something the volume is up again. Why does it do this?

Some times Siri's volume automatically goes so low that I can not hear it. Then I ask another question and the volume is back to normal. Why is this?

Hmm, have you tried to raise the volume when Siri is activatied? (Hold home button down to activate S, then turn the volume up) Hope it helps!

SIM works well in other phones. Im sure that the problem is with the phone only. even in headset call volume is low. I ve seen such kind of problemr are posted on internet, but there is no solution!
it is really annoying
The last resort perhaps is to send the phone to a Nokia Care Point for further device evaluation.
You can locate one by navigating through your local Nokia support page at http://www.nokia.com/global/support.
Good luck

My earpiece turns on and I can't hear the call I just placed. I am not sure what I touch that activates this crazy earpiece. It is driving me crazy.

Hello to you Wildone007!
Let's get this earpiece away from the looney bin! SuzyQ asked some phenomenal questions (thank you!) Waht type of earpiece are you using and what phone model do you have?
We can figure this out together!

Sound volume low full volume can't hardly hear it hp g71 notebook

I cannot get volume loud enough to hear with full volume. volume slides seem to work but very low volume when turned full up.

To go a few steps further on what Peter has provided on the Speaker Icon, right-click and choose "Playback devices", then highlight "Speakers", which should be selected as the "default" for playback, then select "Properties", then choose the "Enhancements" tab and check-mark the "Loudness Equalization" for a possible audio boost. Hope this provides some joy.

The volume on calls on my 4s is very low. How can I increase it?

I can barely hear what the caller says. Any suggestions?

Hey Mojo99!
You may need to check your settings to see if you have any volume limiting activated:
Volume controls - iPhone
http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iph3bd01180
Lock the ringer and alert volumes. Go to Settings > Sounds and turn off “Change with Buttons.” To limit the volume for music and videos, go to Settings > Music > Volume Limit.
If the issue is still unresolved, try the troubleshooting steps listed in the following article:
iPhone: No sound or distorted sound from speaker

Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

Audigy 2 ZS + Vista 64bit resolves in very low maximum volume out

Hi,
I did just install Windows Vista Ultimate 64bit Edition on my computer.
I've got a CREATIVE Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS sound card, and I downloaded and installed the drivers for it.
I did not run into any complications while installing the driver, but after the driver was successfully installed and I rebooted my computer the first thing that hit me was the fact that the volume output was VERY LOW.
I have to boost my volume to the maximum to even be able to hear my music and games at a decent volume level. The maximum volume output seems to have been reduced with at least 50% compared to what I had with Windows XP Professional.
I've tried to configure every sound settings I can find, but without any luck.
The sound card is completely useless with this low maximum volume output, when I can barley hear my music or in-game sound.
Is this a common problem?
Have do I solve it's
I need at least 10% increase in the sound volume, otherwise the sound card is pointless.

Yes I did, I've checked everywhere I can possibly think of. Have boosted everything to the max, but still it's way to low

Very low sound volume on Portege R500

The sound volume on my R500 (R500-11c to be exact) is ridiculously low. Only with volume maxed out (100) and using headphones do I hear anything at all, and even then it's way too low to be useful. I can just make out the test sounds in the left and then right earphone when using the test sound found at Control Panel -> Sound -> Speakers (there are no Headphones to be selected) -> Properties -> Advanced -> Test. Unplugging the headphones I hear nothing from the speakers, due to the (very low) sounds made by the fan and HDD. Playing music (with headphones) I can just make out that sounds are being produced, but I can't even make out what is playing.
I've tested the things mentioned in the "Satellite 5105-S901 Sound is very low (even on max volume) using supplied Toshiba driver" thread with no success (including Loudness Equalization).
I'm running Vista Business 32bit, and have tried the driver_audio_realtek26117B.exe, driver_audio_realtek_TC00157600B.exe, and Vista_Win7_R243_x86.exe driver files, and also used the util_mute_off_25847B.exe utility.
Enabling mute makes the already faint sounds go completely silent, so I don't think it's a mute issue.
Jack detection does work, I can see that in the Realtek HD Audio Manager program. Using that program's sound test (Speaker Configuration) I have to go to a completely silent room, and even then I only hear something in the right earphone. (I think; it's so darn low I could be imagining I hear it.)
Decreasing the sound volume slider from 100 does make the almost inaudible sound even harder to even notice, and at around 45 it is no longer audible even in a quiet room with headphones.
So it seems that I somehow need to reset the audio chip to "normal" level. Or it is broken and can't output anything more audible.
Does anyone have any ideas what I can try next? I can boot to XP or Linux if anyone has any ideas on how to get sound there, just to get started. (They're silent as well, I haven't done as extensive testing under those as under Vista.)

Hello, and thanks for answering.
Yes, I have tried increasing the volume in control panel -> Realtek HD audio manager. No success.
I have used a bunch of different drivers, both from toshiba's website and realtek's.
Recently did a fresh XP install on another hard drive (don't have Vista install media), tried both 5.10.0.5869 and 5.10.0.6066 drivers (5.10.0.6066 is from march 13, 2010), sound still as low no matter what I do.
Did the really desperate thing: bought a new (used) sound module on ebay ("Toshiba Portege R500 (PPR50E-00L048EN) USB jack" on ebay.co.uk), but it has the same problem as the original one.
A hardware problem... well maybe, I was thinking perhaps the sound module doesn't get enough power from the motherboard, but since there is some sound (although very low), the USB jack on the module works, the headphone/mic jack detection works, and the diagnostics found in the Control Panel all say that the device is working OK, I don't think it's a hardware problem.
I'm guessing there is a problem with the drivers initializing the sound to a ridiculously low setting, and increasing the volume level to 100 makes it go up to a level equal to perhaps 2 in a regular system. That should be solved by a fresh install, but it isn't.
Perhaps the BIOS messes up the sound? But re-flashing the BIOS doesn't help...
Anyone got any other ideas?
I've googled and found people having problems with low sound volume on other laptops using the ALC262 chip, but no general solution.

Very Low Ipod volume

I have recently bought a 2GP Ipod with colour display in the United Kingdom and I am very upset with the volume level. On the majority of tracks the volume is very low and when it is cranked up to maximum it sometimes distorts the sounds although they are not very loud. I have fiddled with the EG settings but to no avail.
When using Itunes I set the volume to the maximum - is this incorrect. I am using Sony ear phones - the ones with the little plugs which go straight in your ear.
Please can someone advise me what do as I am rather upset with the iPod - I have used the EU Pro Booster but it doesn't seem to help.

Normally I do not engage in contest such as these, especially when I am correct, however I will take the time to set you straight on a few things.
Your Statement: well thank you for your very kind and informative information.
My reply: Never a problem. I do not mind correcting people that are not well informed, and where I might have a bit more knowledge.
Your question: so do you live in europe and do you have a ipod from europe?
My reply: Yes I live in Europe and no I do not have a European iPod, but I have taken the time to read about the differences between the US and European version. Can you say the same?
Your question: if not do you have a head piece from b&o?
My reply: When you say, head piece do you mean, head phones, or ear phones, or some additional piece of equipment from B&O designed for use with audio devices? You were not clear here so I naturally assumed you meant headphones. Second, how does this figure into the equation?
Your question: if not what made you the king of judges to contamplate about my taste and the way i like my music?
My reply: Show me in my original post where I judged your musical tastes. Second, where did I say any thing about how you life your music. I only stated a FACT (something that you failed to do), about how non-sealing headphones such as the B&O's that can not isolate sound can not match headphones that completely isolate the listener from ambient noise. My facts verses your opinion.
Your sophomoric question: do you work for these folks www.etymotic.com
My answer: No. Even if I did, you are still wrong and I am still correct.
Your question: did i ask your opionion?
My reply: Nope, but this is a public forum and I am providing facts where you are providing opinions. Who would you listen to? You with guesses and conjecture, or me who has provided details and links to possibly solve a problem for the stater of this thread?
Your statement: I was just talking to a fellow who lived in europe and had a problem?
My reply: So was I, and had info to back mine up.
Your question: who are you to tell me that i am mistaken?
My reply: Obviously someone that seems to know quite a bit more than you about this issue.
Your statement: learn to be polite and express your views this way
My reply: Learn or have an idea about what you wish to discuss and I will not have to correct you again.

Very Low Sound Volume in Windows 7 - Bootcamp on 20" iMac from early 2008

Hi everyone,
I installed Windows 7 RC (build 7100 - 32 Bit version) using bootcamp on my iMac bought in early 2008 (2Gb Ram - 2.67 GHz).
The entire installation went well with no glitch or issues at all and I ran the bootcamp setup in Windows 7 to install the drivers. The problem I'm having is that the sound volume is extremely low in Windows 7. I can barely hear it when I turn the volume up to the max. I don't have volume problems in Leopard - only in Windows 7.
I also tried to install the RealTek Vista driver from my Leopard disk but still the same problem. As anyone run into the same problem? Any suggestions
Thanks!
Gruau

i want to tell you my problem and my solution.
i have a late model macbook pro i installed windows7 rtm version x64.
and i always had windows on my mac (older models) with everthing working properly.
i did't have sound on my windows7 os. i tried everything form every forum.
they all had some problems my problem was that windows7 installed the driver by itself. but that my output was only 50% and i heard nothing.
everybody (including apple) say that you need the realtek/sigmatel driver
from the apple dvds or from the realtek site.
and i tried every version of the drivers (i have a lot of old apple cds)
but still no sound. windows 7 said drivers installed correctly.
installed.
High Definition Sound device or something like thad.
but now the solution.
i tried to install windows vista.
vista said drivers. installed (without apple drivers installed)
the driver name was:
Cirrus Logic CS4206a (ab75)
and these drivers are also on the apple dvds.(cirrus.zip)
so i installed windows 7 again.
and installed this driver first. then started bootcamp. drivers like normally.
everything now works perfect.

Hi,

Very Low Call Volume of two week old iphone. Any pointers to resolve this?

I just bought the iphone two weeks back. Everything was fine until after I synched up the iphone 3g with itunes and installed some free apps from apple store. I can barely hear other person's voice. Note that increasing the volume using the side buttons is of no use. I am still on version, 2.0.1 ( 5B108).
Does anybody else has this problem? Any one knows about the resolution to this? PS: while i was typing this message I received an att message asking me to upgrade version of my iphone. Is that a good idea ?

Hi.
I do not know if my bios is correct one but i did not have the problems like you.
I think you can try
Picture before backup
But i provide file only...all you do with them is at your own risk
65CN15WW
i used to backup : Universal bios backup utility
EDIT: i tried to reflash 65CN15WW by using autoexec winflash variables i get message EFI error unsupported BUT after that i only ran winflash.exe and set to only flash new bios option. Then select bios file to flash click on flash new file button and pray
After restart my BIOS still working i don't tested it with 65CN13WW but you can try if it helps.
i think this settings creates problems with invalid bios image
and i flashed using this
Lenovo IdeaPad U410, Core i7 - 3517U, 8GB RAM 1600 MHz, 1 TB + 24GB SSD HDD, BIOS: 65CN15WW
Windows 7 Home Premium -> Windows 8 Pro RTM (upgraded without problems)
