I have a G71-340 US Notebook. Speaker volume too low to hear turned up to full volume.

On my G71-340 US Notebook I have the volume turned up to max and yet the speakers are so low I can barley hear them. Is there a software update to fix this?

*************************TRY THIS BEFORE DRIVER RE-INSTALLATION ********************
(It's an easier first solution, and It increased my volume, whereas driver re-install did not)
From Delilah M. on Amazon.com and her review of the G71-340us, Thanks Delilah!
CLICK on the Windows START Button
In the search box TYPE "Manage Audio Devices"
in the results that appear, CLICK on "Manage Audio Devices"
in the window that appears CLICK on "Speakers and Headphones" - this will highlight the "Properties" button
CLICK on the "Properties" button
in the window that appears CLICK on the "Levels" tab at the top, make sure the "Speakers" and "PC Speakers" are at 100%
CLICK on the "Enhancements" tab at the top
CHECK the "Loudness Equalization" Box >>>>>  THIS IS THE SETTING THAT WILL BOOST THE VOLUME <<<<<
CLICK on the "Apply" button
CLICK on the "OK" button, your settings will be applied and the box will close
in the remaining open window CLICK "OK" to close the box, and you should be ready to go.  
Thanks again to Delilah M. for her solution.

  • HP Pavilion DV6 Notebook Speaker Volume Too Low

    I have all speaker/audio settings everywhere set at maximum, but the speaker volume I get when I play any kind of audio or video feed from anywhere is way too low. (If I plug external speakers into the headphone jack, the volume is much better.) I've seen all of the posts where the solution was to do something on the "Enhancements" tab in Playback Devices, Properties, but I don't have that tab on my system. When I go into the Configure option and do the audio test, the volume there is great! I've also checked for updates on my audio drivers and the results have come back saying I have the best version already.
    I've been putting up with this for a long time, but I'm really tired of having to plug external speakers in when I want to watch a video or listen to streaming music. I'd appreciate any suggestions (other than the one involving the "Enhancements" tab that I don't have) that might help fix this problem!

    Hello @Lagil ,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand the audio appears to be way too low. I will do my best to help! First, please provide the following information and try the following steps:
    1. The computer's model number. If you require assistance locating this information, please reference this website: Guide to finding your notebook product number
    2. The computer's operating system. If you require assistance locating this information, please reference this website to determine your Windows operating system.
    3. Does this occur on certain programs, or all programs?
    4. Have you installed any new software or drivers on this computer, before the issue appeared?

  • E72 phone conversation speaker way too low at max ...

    Hi,
    I checked three E72 units. In all three, the speaker, when at full volume, is way too quiet. This applies to phone conversations put on speaker or off speaker (unit next to ear). In comparison, my previous phone (Nokia 6131) doesn't exhibit this major fault.
    I checked with the local distributor, Eurocom Israel, and they experimented a bit and eventually confirmed my findings.
    Is there a technical solution to this issue?  It really is a shame for an otherwise decent phone...
    Thanks,

    Hi patroni73
    I too have noticed that ever since my last upgrade to 7.0.4 on my iPhone4s I am having the same trouble of increasing speaker volume to High.  Although all of the tools (my volume bars on locked screen, side + bar, General Settings volume) are all the way up  to max with my side switch to ON my ringtones and sounds are all very low.  It feels like this latest upgrade has forgotten the speaker system controls and took care of whatever else the problem was.
    Before the ios 7.0.4 upgrade, my iPhone 4s speaker was high enough and working just fine.  Please help!!!

  • Speaker volume too low on 3GS - any way to increase it?

    The speaker volume is too low on my IPhone 3GS. Other than the volume control is there any other way to increase it?

    With volume control do you mean the buttons on the side of the phone? or in settings? When playing something on speaker and i want it louder, I just click the up button on the side of the phone.

  • E51 - speaker volume too low.

    Hi All, I have an E51 and the problem I have is it's so hard to hear anything.
    I have to press the handset into my ear and place the hearing area directly over my ear .
    Volume is already on max when I press volume up button on the right side of the phone,
    or right on the navigation button during call.
    and I've upgraded to 3xx, but it still is low!
    Too many friend have the same problem.
    Please Help......

    I am sure the warranty on your phone is expired and you don't really care. I also know your intentions are genuine and you mean well. 
    However, discussions involving the disassembly of phones is expressly prohibited by Nokia because it may result in other users voiding their warranties. 
    Don't take this personally because I agree with your post but it may be removed by the moderators in the morning.. 

  • Does the G71-340 US Notebook Have TWO Hard Drive Bays

    My mother has the laptop mentioned in this subject line. She's got all kinds of issues going on with it. Runs slowly. Hangs. Shuts off randomly. I've run every virus scan and malware scan known to man and it's found nothing. It's either something that's on the hard drive that just isn't being detected and the only solution is to reformat the drive and reinstall everything from scratch or it's a hardware issue. I'm thinking of installing an SSD as the primary drive for speed improvement and reformatting the original drive that's in there right now and installing that as a secondary drive, *IF* this laptop has the ability to house 2 hard drives. Anyone know the answer to this 2nd hard drive bay question off the top of their head for this specific laptop? Thanks in advance.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Unfortunately this is not one of the models with the extra hard disk bay. So the answer is no. Consider an external usb hard disk or a NAS.
    Installing an SSD as a replacement for the original hard disk is the way to go. Use the largest that you can afford and run a factory image recovery from the recovery disk set.
    Take a look at the Maintainence & Service guide.

    I subscribed to Music Match with iTunes and yet my ipad settings for Music only still has the option to subscribe, and therefore I cannot click on an option to Activagte iTunes Match, since it is not there. I have all the right number of songs from the icloud showing up in my ipad now, and I have played a few, but when I tried to turn off the computer, it showed a field stating that my ipad music would stop playing too, and it did. I thought this might have something to do with homesharing, but this I thought was something separate from iCloud.
    There is something wrong, but I don't understand what. It has just synced, but the problem persists.

    Home sharing is separate from iTunes Match.  Sounds like you were playing music using home sharing, which turned off when you turned off your computer.
    Open iTunes on your computer and go to the Store menu.  Confirm that there is a setting called Turn Off iTunes Match.  That will confirm that iTunes Match is enabled on your computer.  Then check to see what Apple ID you subscribed to iTunes Match with.  It will be the ID in Store>View Account (in parentheses).
    On your iPad, confirm that you are signed in with this same ID in Settings>iTunes & App Store (at the top).  If so, you should see an iTunes Match setting listed with an on/off slider.  Slide it on to enable iTunes Match on your iPad.

  • I don't have any volume. When I push the mute button or try to increase the volume up or down nothing happens. The volume shows up as if it were at full volume but no sound. I am so frustrated.

    I need some help with the volume on my macbook pro. I am getting absolutely no sound no matter if I push the volume increase or decrease button. Nothing changes. The volume bar shows up as if it were at full volume but no sound and the mute button doesn't do anything either.
    Please help.

    Go step by step and test.
    1. System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
        Highlight  Internal Speakers.
        Make sure that Mute is not enabled.
    2.Plug in and  remove the headphone.
        If you see red light in the headphone port or not, plug the headphone
        in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
        Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.
        Try this even if you don’t see the red light.
    3. Reset PRAM.  http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14222
    4. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
        Choose the method for:
        "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
    5. Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup
        Audio Devices window
        Side Bar
        Click the Built-in Output.
        Under Mute any of the boxes checked? If so,uncheck it.
    6. System Preferences > Sound> Sound Effects
        Play sound effects through:
       Select "Internal speakers" and then back to "Selected sound output device".

  • Narration sound too low or else have background hiss/hum

    I am using PreE8 on Windows7 64-bit.  My sound card is....hmmmm, my spec sheet says "Integrated 7.1 Audio."  I don't know what that means.  Perhaps that is the "house" sound on my computer, a Dell Studio XPS 435MT (lack of a decent sound card may be part of the problem now that I think about it).
    Continuing on, I am trying to overdub a video clip by muting it, and recording dialog to the narration track.  I have a cheapo desktop Labtec microphone.  I have two settings in the Control panel to adjust microphone volume.  one is labelled "Microphone" and the other "Microphone Boost".  I have the gain in the PreE8 narration window at max.   For both the front and back microphone jacks, with the control panel "microphone" setting to 100 but the boost at zero, the volume of my narration is too low to hear.  If I slide the Microphone Boost to +30db (the max) in the Control Panel, the volume of the narration is barely okay, but I get a loud background hiss/hum that is unacceptable.
    My goal is to record my voice overdubs with as little extra work as possible, so I am looking for a setup that will allow us to speak into a microphone at normal volumes and to end up with a clean narration clip that I can simply use straight in my project with no denoising, no cleaning up in audacity, etc.
    I read in another thread that a condenser microphone might help.  Will it?  If so, I don't want to break the bank.  Can someone recommend a condenser microphone that will record voice well, but not cost a fortune?
    Might my lackluster sound card be part of the problem?  If so, what recommendations are there for sound cards to record voice well?  I am only looking to record dialog--no music, no explosions--which is why I didn't get a high end soundcard in the first place.
    Lastly, is there anything else I am missing here with respect to recording audio in PreE8?  Because we are trying to sync dialog to existing video, it is imperative we be able to watch the clip while recording dialog, so I don't know that recording outside of PrE8 is an option.  or is it?  Is there a way to do this easily using, say, audacity.  ( I have a great old USB microphone that used to work with Audacity years ago, maybe this might work?).

    The microphone used can make all of the difference, as can a noise-free environment.
    HERE is a good one. I use similar. I would go with a mono, but then you will want your narrator within the pickup pattern. (See below). If this is out of the budget, then I'd stop by a guitar shop and discuss mics with the salespeople. They should know about mic'ing single instruments, and singers, and have many such mics available at differing prices. Discuss the cables, as you will likely be using direct connection via 1/8" connector, and not have a phantom power source - hence the need for a powered mic.
    Now, it sounds like you have more than one narrator. The capture pattern of the particular mic will make a difference. I use a tight cardioid mono mic, because I am the narrator. If you have more than one narrator, you'll want a much broader pattern. Having a powered condenser mic will likely get a usable signal, without having to boost the signal - adding that noise that you are getting.
    Seating your narrators very close to one another will be helpful, as will adding some sound baffling to keep the fans in the computer, etc. from being picked up. Sonofoam is great for this, but one can do similar by just placing some cardboard panels with upholstery  foam glued to it, or maybe even blankets. Do NOT wrap the computer's case, but place these between it, and the narrators. Depending on your room, you might even want to hang blankets behind the narrators to cut down on reflected (echos) sounds from a live room.
    Now, if you do need to record in Audacity, or similar, and watch the movie, you can just Export/Share the Timeline as a Video-only file. Play that in WMP, or similar, and use Audacity to record. I use Adobe Audition, and it incorporates Video in its GUI, so I just Export/Share and Import that into Audition to be played, while I record.
    Your sound chip is probably fine, so long as the level of the signal from the mic is adequate for it. I like to have my narration peaking at about -6dB, so that there is no clipping. I can still boost that slightly in my editing program, if needed.
    I have several panels of foamcore with sonofoam on them. One is between me and the computer's case. Two more form a large "V", with me in the center of that "V." This effectively kills all room reflections. I just use a couple of lightstands besides my chair, and use some spring clamps to attach those panels. Blankets would work fine too. Your setup might look a bit odd, should someone drop by, but what you want to do is eliminate any liveliness in the room, block things like those fans, and be sure to turn off the heater/AC and kill any audio sources from the rest of the house.
    Good luck,

    I am unable to see the airplay icon on my macbook air, iphone or iPad which would enable me to use my Bose speaker through airplay. I set this up in the UK but have taken my macbook and bose speaker travelling with through Thailand. Ive wifi in my room and am able to access the internet on my laptop, Ive also been able to through the Bose Soundlink air wifi set application connect the bose speaker to the Wifi too.
    I am only able to play my itunes through my macbook speakers and cannot find the airplay button which should be next to the volume slide once turned down to less than 1/3 of the volume..

    Thanks for your help.  Since I'm uninterested in loading all my photos (the only option) into photostream, I won't be able to use the settings in ATV.  I guess I'm just stuck with using iPhoto on my MB Air.  Thanks again.

  • Why does my volume control on my iPod touch only work when i have Earbuds or Headphones or a speaker connected to the headphone jack, and not also when there is nothing in the jack?

    I can't adjust the volume of the iPod Touch when it has nothing plugged into the headphones jack, but i can adjust it when i have earbuds or headphones or a speaker ;plugged into the iPod Touch

    Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Insert/remove the the headphone plug a dozen times or so.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem.:
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since you likely have a hardware problem. Could be a bad headphone jack.

    Hey Sam55555,
    I see that you're having an issue with the webcam. 
    Could you provide me with a model and product number of your notebook.
    So that I may look into this further to try and provide you with more helpful instructions.
    Also, this Document should help you out. If it doesn't let me know the full model name and i will find a document for your notebook.
    What i consider doing is the section that says "Reinstalling the original webcam program that came with your computer".
