L430 - very low Audio output

we have bought many L430 notebooks and with Windows 7 the audio output is very low... we have tried with both realtek and windows HD drivers but the result is poor out put...

Deinstall Dolby Advanced Audio and then Realtek Audio. Then try installing Realtek Audio drivers from your SWTOOLS folder, but DO NOT install Dolby Advanced Audio. See if there are any changes regarding your output level(s). If not, download Realtek Audio drivers from Lenovo Driver Matrix website (note: for me those drivers, 5/6/2013, are refusing to install - says "bad driver something something"), but DO NOT install Dolby Advanced Audio. See if there are any changes regarding your output level(s). In any case, be sure to (properly) deinstall Dolby Advanced Audio. I recently had problems with Dolby Advanced Audio after upgrading Realtek Audio drivers, and the only way to get sound working again was to install Realtek Audio drivers from SWTOOLS folder. I skipped Dolby AA altogether and everything is working fine. Also, worth mentioning, restart your computer after installing Realtek drivers. After restart, make sure your mic/volume mute buttons are working properly.

IDT High Definition Audio CODEC v. 6.10.6395.0 Upon installation I have very low audio output

IDT High Definition Audio CODEC v. 6.10.6395.0. 5/21/ 2012
Upon installation I have very low audio output! Screen Shot Screen Shot 2
I have tried:
un-installing and reinstalling the drivers.
Installed the original drivers via HP's website sp53222 for my particular model. HP Pavilion HPE h8-1070t
Any suggestions? would be greatly appreciated. It would appear IDT who I also emailed and they never responded is responsible for a codec pack that is not fully functional with this motherboard.

Did you access the Catalyst Control Center in programs and look at the latest updates for your graphics card and make sure you didn't download the audio drivers they self install and are checked automatically each time you attempt an update for the card.
Did you right click on the speaker in the system tray and go into recodring devices make sure everything is setup propper there sometimes they too can change.
I'm familiar with cakewalk but never used it on Win7 its been many years since I played around with that. If you are using the onboard audio card and it has worked before and not now if I were in your situtation I would attempt to reisntall the dirvers via device manager they do sometimes become corrupt especially if you picked up any malware that was removed by your antivirus software due to the drivers and malware both reside inwindows\system32.
After the reisntall of the drivers if the issue is not resolved I would upgrade the audio card with a PCIe x1 component such as:
Creative Labs SB1040 PCI Express Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio Sound Card
http://www.amazon.com/Creative-Labs-SB1040-Express-Blaster/dp/B000W7PNZI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1357...
After I paid for a real soundcard with Recording: 24-bit/96kHz and Sound Output Mode - 7.1 and bypassed my onboard audiocard I never had any issues again. My onbaord worked too in the begining for certain things than stopped mysteryously and the reinstallation became ineffective after a while so I decided the money for the tower was invested mainly in the CPU i7 the RAM and HDD.
*** Note if you did install the audio drivers for the graphics card you will have to change the onboard audio in the BIOS from automattic to enabled. Otherwise you will have no sound at all. So never take the audio drivers for the graphics card unless you need them for DVR recording or something. The PCIe audio cards are never effected by this however only the onboard audio. Another reason onboard is a cheap way to go and HP bundles it as cheap as it can my friend.
Good Luck again!

Very low audio output Sound Blaster Audigy Fx

I have been having problems on my PC with windows 7 having no audio output. So today I picked up the audio fx sound card hoping to solve this issue. I have sound now but even after cranking up all of the options in the sound blaster control panel, my audio is barely audible. I have updated to the newest drivers. Any solutions to this problem? The headphones that I am using work fine on my laptop.

Yes that is disabled. The only way I have been able to turn the audio up enough to be able to hear is to hook up my guitar amp to the sound card and then use that to crank up the volume and use the headphone jack to my headphones. But the sound is super crackly and whiney.
When I am playing audio, on the volume mixer, under sound it shows the volume level at 100% but whatever application is playing sound will never go above about 50%.

Low audio output - Speakers advice

Hi,
I am a proud owner of Lenovo A600. The only drawback seems to be the low audio output. Though the sound quality is fabulous, I cant hear a lot of videos on the internet them from a reasonable distance.
I m assuming that supplementing the audio with speakers is the solution. I have no idea of the type of speakers to buy. Researching on the internet makes me more and more bewildered of the choices, so I decided to ask in the lenovo forums as the people here might have a better idea.
Here are my goals :
A reasonably portable speaker system that increases the sound output so I can hear it from a distance, in a big room. I have a few dumb questions :
1) Is it possible to connect speakers that supplement the speakers of Lenovo?
2) Is it possible to connect a 2.0 system but still use the built-in bass?
3) Is a 2.1 system the minimum needed to maintain the same clarity?
4) Is it a bad idea to consider USB speakers like Logitech Z-5?
Apparently, I have no idea about sound systems and this is my first exposure to these and I m thoroughly confused by a lot of terminology like bass, woofer, sub woofer, tweeter etc.. and dont really have the resources to cut thru the jargon. So guys, can anybody please help/advise?
Thanks in advance.

1. Most likey the audio out connection will sense the input of headphones/external speakers and it will turn off the internal speaker. If the opposite was correct, using headphones to not disturb people around you would be useless.
2. Read above.
3. Most decent external speakers will outperform any internal speakers. Internals speakers are cheap and bought from the lowest bidder. Right now you are using ta .1 system. 2 meaning the number of speakers and 1 meaning the subwoofer.
4. I cant give you info about USB speakers, but it might be possible to use both the USB speakers and the internal speakers together. USB speakers will also allow you to use 5.1, or even 7.1 speakers systems. More speakers the better.
Just remember to get amplified speakers. The more watts the speakers can handle, the louder they will be. Logitech is one company that I know have good quality speakers. I am sure there are more. i hope this helps. Goodluck.

I WAS VISIT NOKIA CARE FOR THIS PROBLEM, THEY SIMPLY FORMAT THE SOFTWARE AND REINSTALL IT AND SAY THEY CANT DO MORE THAN THIS. I AM ALSO USING NOKIA 5130 XMUSIC AND DIFFRENCE BETWEEN AUDIO QUALITY IS LIKE HELL AND HAVEN.I WAS PURCHAING THIS 5235 FOR UNLIMITED MUSIC AND I AM UNABLE TO USING THIS.

Low audio output.

I just got my L355-S7825 and while watching any DVD with any player, the audio output is very low. I have to crank it all the way up to hear anything and I lose a lot of dialogue. My old P25 would blow me into the next room with the volume cranked.
Playing mp3s isn't much better.
Any ideas? Everything else checks out - seems like the audio driver maybe?
Solved!

Thank you Jerry - actually, it was the power setting. It came on Power Saver, so I bumped it up to Balanced. World of difference!

Very low audio sound

Its a hp pavilon dv6 notebook - serial # 5ch1311yvr - windows7 64 bit -I have tried all sound options I could find, one day the sound was working good and the next day very low volume, no new programs were installed ad no changes that I am aware of, and there are no error messages and all the test say that the sound card is working. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hi
You have a couple of options as I see it.
Go to device manager and uninstall the Sound driver and restart and unit will install the driver automatically.
Try doing System restore to the date when the unit was working fine.
Try to update the driver from hp.com website for Audio & Bios.
Let us know how it goes!

Very low audio quality after amber update

After installing amber update audio quality and volume has dropped significantly! Volume through speakers is alot lower, and when plugged into headphones audio lacks quality and depth. There is barely any bass and volume is very low, sounds like listening to a clock radio very disappointing, as audio quality on my 920 was very very good the best of any phone so far before amber update!

i haven't noticed that with my 920. have you tried performing a soft reset and also check that you are up to date with all the latest Nokia system app updates from the Store?

Very low audio on my new Satellite L755-M1KS

Hi,
First of all, I couldn't find my model here on this website or on any of Toshiba's websites for that matter which is very weird.
My problem is, the Audio is very very low since day one when I bought it.
The laptop is still under warranty and I don't know if it is a software problem or a hardware one.
I'm located in Abu Dhabi, I don't know where is the toshiba support center here and I don't know why this particular model can't be found anywhere!!
Please help!
Thank You
Toshiba Satelite L755 - M1KS

Unfortunately I cannot find your notebook on Toshiba page too.
Anyway, if you are using original Toshiba recovery image (original preinstalled OS) and you are not happy with it contact nearest authorized Toshiba service provider and ask for help.
You can find ASP on http://gulf.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/en/generic/ASP_SUPPORT/

Line in recorde mostly noise and very low audio (please help)

i think i may be giving my client a lot of money back...
about 20 minutes into a video gig i realized that the line in audio i was getting on my camera was not working properly so i pulled the plug and jsut picked up from the camra mic, but i am left with about... 18 minutes of very very poor audio. are there any brave and generouse soundtrack pros who can tell me waht setting to apply to make this "listenable"
you can download a 30 second snipit here: http://www.video-guy.com/forums/ami_out_ofluck.zip
i have soundtrack, but rarely use it, so like i said. if anyone would be kind enough to hold my hand and tell me what buttons to push i would be very much in your debt.
heck, i'll even do some free photoshop, or final cut work for you.
thanks.

First off, yes you're pretty much out of luck. I listened to your sample, and there's probably nothing you could do to make this sound good. With enough filtering, you could make it so the voice is marginally intelligible, but it's never going to sound like a good recording.
Second, while this web forum is good for discussion about Soundtrack Pro's features and how to use them, I've found that Usenet has much more meaningful discussions on audio editing techniques in general. A couple newsgroups I read religiously are rec.arts.movies.production.sound and rec.audio.pro.

Very Low Volume Output - Audigy 2

Hi,
All of a sudden my Audigy 2 ZS card has very low volume. Tried different speakers, tried uninstall/reinstall, tried clean boot of XP, no luck. Also, there is faint crackling when I turn volume up but I believe it's only because speakers are fully cranked and there is hardly any sound coming out.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I didn't have any place to test the card but I did replace it with another one. Unfortunately, the other card gives the same result - very low volume. I suppose this means there is a problem with the motherboard. Do you agree? Is there any other test I could do that might pinpoint the problem area?
Yes, I received a "reply" from Creative. It was a form email that said they received my message and would respond (usually) within 24 hours. That is the only message I received from them.

Need help. VERY low audio with Tivo series 2 and Fios

I just had Fios installed and want to use my Tivo Series 2 DVR. However, the audio can barely be heard. Any advice?
Here is my setup
1. Motorola set top digital box with HDMI output to Television. Everything is Excellent
2. Motorola set top box S video output to Tivo. Red and white AV to Tivo audio input.
In this setup, my standard def channels have excellent picture, but the volume is just way to low.
I have run the Tivo setup procedures.
When I try running Coax from the set top box to Tivo, I get NOTHING. No audio or video.
Is the motorola incapable of putting out enough audio via AV when HDMI is also connected?
Help
(please)

Keyboards:
The motorola is connected simultaneously to TV via the HDMI output, and to my TIVO, via S Video and AV outputs.
When the TV source is set to HDMI, all is perfect (in fact, stunning). Great sound.
When I change the TV to receive S Video from the Tivo, I receive an excellent standard def picture, but audio that I have to crank up to full scale.
I have not tried Motorola to Tivo alone, with no HDMI connection to the TV.
I do think your idea to use a second box (a simple SD digital converter) to hook up to the Tivo makes great sense. If I split the feed, sending one to the HD settop box, and another to Tivo, then I get the best of both worlds. I will get HD from the motorola, and can separately record on the Tivo.
I am still a bit concerned about audio volume, although the Tivo boards seem to say that Tivo works well with Fios.

Very Low Audio after Updating iPod wVideo 60 GB

After updating to latest software for iPod with video 60 GB, the audio on all of my songs is extremely low. I have to turn the volume nearly to max to hear at a modest level. I also get Zero bass now.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Thanks dude for the help, that's a very useful tip for many reasons.
It didn't resolve my problem and then I recalled that I have another set of headpones from my old iRiver. I plug those headphones (which were used excessively for 2 years) and my sound is instantly back.
Basically, iPod headphones (that I have had since November 2005) are totally shot. They are absolute crapola. Geeze, they might as well sell the **** things without headphones, just go straight to after-market set.
