L510 -Realtek Audio LOW volume -winXP

Hi,
I recently downgraded my laptop to WinXP from Win7 and see the difference in the sound quality and the volume is low (on 100%). Any idea on how to increase the volume or any driver update?
Satellite L510 core i3 PSLGQL-002001.
Audio Driver installed : Realtek_Audio_Driver_5.10.0.5973
This model is also not listed on the support sites.
Regards,
Vivek

Hmm, according to my brother, sometimes it does switch to normal volume, albeit only for a couple of seconds max.
Oh well. I've given up on this and put an Audigy SE in, and it seems to be working fine.

  • Beat audio low volume through speakers but okay through headphones

    My beats audio works fine through my headphones but the volume through the speakers is not very loud.  I am teaching a class where I need to have the volume loud enough for people to hear it across a small room, not huddled around my laptop. I have a HP pavilion dv6, windows 7

    Hi trirainbow,
    For what is described in your post, it sounds as though it is probably functioning as designed. I have tested a similar notebook in a small room, and need to use external powered speakers for it to be audible. Double check all the volumes to make sure that they are maxed, and what program are you using for your presentation?
    Thank you.

  • Guitar audio drop-out at lower volumes

    I have tried out mainstage on a friends macbook pro, to check if it will be worth an investment into Logic over Garageband, mainly as an effects emulator for my guitar so I don't need to worry about amps in my small flat.   I connected through an Edirol UA-5 USB audio interface and while there were some issues with this interface anyway due to the fact I could only use input-1 rather than the Hi-Z Input-2 that I should use, I wanted to check some audio problems I had and see how to fix them.
    Basically, at full volume on my guitar it seems to work fine, but as soon as I turn the guitar volume knob down there is literally no sustain anymore, I can hear a brief note and then it just cuts out, no gradual loss just stops.   If I only plug the interface in without mainstage then the monitor channel gives me the full volume control I expect and I tried my guitar on a proper external amp and it seemes to be fine so i've eliminated my guitar as the problem.
    Anyone experienced this or have any suggestions to try to get it to work.
    Also, if I use garage band I don't hear the output fromt he amp/effects simulators, only raw guitar and I only hear the final version if I record it and then play it back.  Is there a way to get Garage band to act as a amp/fx simulator in a live mode like mainstage does or is the fact mainstage is playing back through the interface what might be causing the problems in some feedback loop??   Beginning to think an iRig would have been a better option......

    Hi
    Sounds like you may have a Noise Gate in there somewhere?
    CCT
    yeah I thought of that but couldn't see anything, and think my knowledge of what a noise gate would do is slightly rusty since I assumed that at louder volumes it would clip and at lower volumes it would be fine....i'll have a play next time I am over my friends and see if I can spot anything.
    Thanks for the quick reply.

  • Audio out low volume

    Our Motorola qip6416-2 suddenly is producing a very low volume on the volume out connectors.  Volume to the TV is OK, but we have both a stereo and a TV-Anywhere hooked up to the audio out, and the volume on both has taken a sudden plunge.  Any suggestions on settings that might need to be adjusted?
    Thanks

    Try looking at the compression setting and the fixed or adjustable setting (all under menu => audio).

  • M-Audio Profire/AKG mic... LOW volume! Power issues?

    Hey guys, desperately need some help here. So I've got an M-Audio Profire 610 interface, using an AKG Perception 200 condenser mic. I am having issues with REALLY LOW VOLUME! And I'm pretty positive I have everything setup correctly. XLR to XLR mic cable(I threw out my old one and bought a brand new one, still didn't solve the problem). I've got phantom power on and the profire is connected via firewire 400. All drivers and software are up-to-date. Got the latest OSX, running all of this on a relatively new imac.
    I have no idea why the AKG mic won't pick up sounds nearly as loud as it should. I have the gain up on the Profire up at 90% which is sufficient enough but the recordings are muffly and not as crisp as they used to be. Once upon a time I used this same mic with a Powerbook G4 and M-Audio Mobile Pre, and the mic worked AMAZINGLY in both Garageband and Logic Express, it picked up EVERYTHING and I never needed to put the gain on the Mobile Pre past 40%--it was a super sensitive mic. One day out of nowhere, however, the gain volume became ridiculously low and I had to max everything out on the Mobile Pre and Garageband/Logic, but it sounded like crap. No hiss and not too much distortion, just LOW volume. The mic was hardly used and I'm having a hard time believing the mic is the problem, just because I only used it a handful of times before the gain crapped out on me. The strong sensitivity came on and off a couple times after that, but the volume is now low all the time. The only other mic I've tried to use with the Profire is an SM57. It works, but really low gain. Guitars and keys have worked perfectly fine, no gain problems.
    I thought the original problem back in the day was my Mobile Pre, so I bought the Profire. Now I'm still having the same problem with ultra low volume. My mic used to pick up sounds from another room or even cars driving outside my window, and now I have to sing RIGHT into it for anything to even be audible. What the **** happened to my crisp/loud sounds? Is it possible that I'm not getting enough power? Would running the Profire via firewire 800 help at all? I'm going crazy here, I have no idea why my mic totally blows now. I guess at this point it seems like the mic could be the problem, but I'm scared of buying a new condenser mic and having the SAME problem all over again.
    What do you guys think? Power problems, the mic itself, wrong setup? All I want to do is pin point this thing, any help at all would seriously be appreciated!

    Since you've already swapped cables, I would guess it's either the mic or the interface. Since you've already swapped interfaces, logically I would guess it's the mic.
    Can you bring the mic to a music store or some other place where you could plug it into another interface or mixing board and see if it also doesn't work there? That would clinch it.

  • Audio: voiceover volume very low; & can't permanently delete original audio

    I'm finishing off a project started by a colleague. In a number of clips, the speed of the footage has been reduced to 25%. The original audio is still embedded in those clips, but is not used and has been muted. I want to record a voiceover, and am using a USB microphone on my iMac. The recording levels work fine when I test them in GarageBand, but when I record the voiceover in iMovie, it's extremely quiet. I've tried increasing the volume to 200%; I've tried turning ducking on and off; and I've even recorded the voiceover in GarageBand, exported it to iTunes, where it sounds fine. But the minute I import it into my project, the volume goes right down.
    I've tried detaching and deleting the original audio track from the relevant clips, in case this is causing problems (because the speed of the audio track is also reduced to 25%). But even if I empty my trash, when I go back to the clips, I can still detach the audio, so it hasn't really been deleted.
    So. Can anybody suggest a solution to the low volume, and whether this might have anything to do with the speed reduction on the originally embedded audio?

    I booted into Windows XP on Bootcamp, and it seems to have the same problem. I also tried the backup of my Tiger system on my external hard drive, and again, the same problem. I tried resetting PMU, but it's still the same. Again, for some reason, my internal speakers are working fine, but when I plug in headphones, the volume is really low even when I turn the volume all the way up. I tried this on iTunes, youtube, and the click sound when you turn up the volume from the keyboard. I can't hear any of them unless I have the volume turned all the way up, and even then, I can barely hear the sound.

  • Audio playback is clipped and has low volume

    Hi, I'm hoping that someone can help me debug my audio problems.
    The problem is that audio playback is clipped and has low volume.
    The details of my setup are as follows:
    - An onboard soundcard (ASUS M4A78LT-M-LE motherboard), identified as Intel HDA in dmesg:
    description: Audio device
    product: SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA)
    vendor: ATI Technologies Inc
    physical id: 14.2
    bus info: pci@0000:00:14.2
    version: 00
    width: 64 bits
    clock: 33MHz
    capabilities: pm bus_master cap_list
    configuration: driver=snd_hda_intel latency=64
    resources: irq:16 memory:f9ff4000-f9ff7fff
    - ALSA (snd_hda_intel driver) and Pulseaudio
    My ALSA mixer settings (which were used in the recording shown in this post) are at pastebin.
    The mixer settings were chosen so that all "dB gain" is 0.00 for all columns in alsamixer.
    Recording an MP3 (played at full volume) from the Stereo Mixer source in audacity I gives output which looks clipped and has low volume (link).
    This occurs with any MP3 and any other sound source (Youtube in Chromium, etc.)
    The problem does not occur when I boot into Windows XP, so it doesn't seem to be a hardware problem.
    I'm also attaching a screenshot of my alsamixer playback screen for the soundcard (link)
    Thanks for any assistance!

    Hi,
    I have the same problem since December 2011 with a similar Mainboard (Asus M4A78T-E).
    Did you resolve your problem?
    Thanks

  • 3GS audio records at a low volume

    Hi all
    ive been playing around with the video recorder on mt 3GS and the audio recording level is very low, the same is happening with the memo recorder.
    The volume on the phone is turned all the way up when im playing back and this doesnt seem to help much.
    Ive uploaded videos to youtube and the volume is still low.
    When im using the memo recorder the VU needle hardly moves at all?
    When i make calls all is fine, the other party can hear me pefectly clearly.
    Im totally stumped
    Anyone got any ideas?
    Christopher

    I seem to remember someone several months ago having this same problem and I think it turned out to be the AUX cord.
    FM transmitters tend to have low volume associated with them as well from my experience.

  • Low volume recording audio w/ mixer

    I have a Behringer UB1204- PRO mixer and I am trying to record vocals with that, but I can only record and get playback at a very quiet volume. I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to recordng audio, but I have my phantom power on, it records fine, but I wanted to know how to turn it up because I can barely hear my vocals. My main mix sliders are up, the levels are green/yellow and I can still barely hear anything. Anything who is recording with a mixer and not a dedicated seperate preamp, can you help me out?

    Keith Do, "Low volume recording audio w/ mixer" #2, 01:19am Sep 26, 2005 CDT
    Is that going to affect the vocal quality if my trim is almost at the max?
    it can, but that depends on the input. Use your ears.
    OK, well the other thing is to look at the input attenuation on your audio interface. In most cases it should be -10dB (consumer)

  • WP8 WASAPI Low Volume Audio Recording Problem on VOIP App

    Hello,
    I am working on a VOIP app and WASAPI is used for the app. I am using WASAPI in SHARED_MODE. Captured audio frames are turned out to be in low volume. For some devices, the audio volume is almost silent (Specially for Lumia 730). 
    From the VOIP app documentation, i found out that only ISimpleAudioVolume is supported for volume control for Windows Phone. (Ref: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/jj715884(v=vs.105).aspx). But ISimpleAudioVolume::GetMasterVolume(float
    *pfLevel) always returns pfLevel=1.0
    Volume level in other VOIP apps like Skype,Viber seems normal.  So, i am wondering what's wrong is going on??
    Thanks,
    Haider 

    Hi haiderBd,
    In fact, Only ISimpleAudioVolume API is supported for Windows Phone 8. IAudioStreamVolume or IChannelAudioVolume is not supported for Windows Phone 8. Am i right or i have missed something else?
    -> Yes, you are correct, if you read carefully about the Requirements section, you should be able to find that ISimpleAudioVolume supported on Windows Store App, but it also mentioned does not supported on Windows Phone 8, which means the API is acceptable
    for Windows Store App for instance PC and tablet.
    Again, IChannelAudioVolume only support on Windows Desktop, which means the api can be only used in desktop development for instance WPF, winform and etc...
    What could be the reason for low volume recording? Is there any way to increase the volume?
    -> I'm not that familiar with WASAPI, perhaps related with Share Mode? Try with exclusive mode to see if listening to one audio endpoint device while recording.
    I will also try to find some experts to help you with this question.

  • MacBook Pro 2009 - Window 7 - Low Volume Output

    I am experiencing low volume output on the internal speakers and slightly better volume on headphone output under BootCamp with Windows 7 x64 Ultimate. And of course the red light emitting diode is one constantly in the audio output jack.
    I have seen fixes for the Windows XP folks over time and on my older MacBook (2006) with Vista x64, I found a fix. I have seen some thoughts on installing RealTek HD Audio drivers and that DID NOT work for Windows 7 x64 on my MacBook Pro 2009. I also tried reinstalling the CirrusAudio x64 from the BootCamp 3 drivers on my Snow Leopard DVD.
    So I am left wondering if a driver update is forthcoming or if there is a fix that has been discovered and not reported online yet?

    I'm going to leave this message for reference to other users...
    As of October 22 2009 there is no known fix for the broken Cirrus Logic driver that comes with Bootcamp 3.0 under any 64bit Windows OS (including Windows 7 and Vista).
    Apple seriously ***** for not doing anything about this for MONTHS and has lost a customer forever. I was going to get a 17in to complement my 13in MacBook Pro but this kind of driver issues is just plain unacceptable, and goes to show how you can't rely on a company like Apple for mission critical systems, period.
    If they want to make ANY inroad in the corporate world the better get their stuff together and start delivering, the famous "excellent customer experience" for me is nowhere to be found. Lacking that, mac computers are only pretty although non-functional machines.
    Sorry for the rant... I hope somebody from apple listens, but I doubt it.

  • Low Volume - any cure?

    Finding the maximum volume is really low, especially when using skype, even with all on MAX volume.  Been through all settings on Realtek Audio to increase it but to no avail.  Anybody have a fix for this, are there updated audio drivers from Realtek that are worth downloading, or is it just the limitation of the tiny speakers?

    Hi,
    I listen net radio almost every time I am surfing with my booklet, and
    there is one interesting thing; 
    When listening finnish logal stations, there is one station where you can
    have at least double more maximum volume than any other station.
    So, it is not only hardware problem?! You may compare these (the lower is with
    louder volume):

  • Low volume in my MuVo

    Hi.
    I have a Creative MuVo TX, 52 MB. A great mp3 player, except that I feel that the volume in it is very low.
    When I usually listen to my songs, I have to have the volume setting to about 30 to be able to hear descent. And if I go above 30, there isn't a very big change in volume.
    I use the standard earplugs provided with the player.
    And no, there's nothing wrong with my ears :P
    All answers are appriciated

    Hi friend,  @samith123  @lbrou87 I don't get any clue how Installing your realtek audio hd drivers solved the low audio problem. I tried 4 times installing and uninstalling the drivers new ones from realtek website/ drivers given in hp support for this model everything. Still I found audio output is low, that too in my brand new laptop, either you use Headphones/earplugs/Internal Speakers. Same low audio ouput. And sound quality with using realtek drivers or default microsoft not so wow. Unless you modify the EQ (Equalizer settings) in DTS control panel or enhancements i.e Loundness equalization, bass boost etc.  The sound output is totally not crispy and wow. If you pay premium price for getting this laptop with broadwell processor then why not  I'm getting satisfying audio and try to mess with EQ settings everytime. I won't consider the solution in your previous replys.   @samith123  Kindly show me the link which realtek hd audio driver (win8.1x64bit) for this model   solved your low audio output .    

  • Seemingly low volume for X-Fi Xtrememu

    Today, the second time I booted up my computer I began to receive an interesting problem. My audio worked to some extent, but the volume was exceedingly low. I had to put my ear right next to the speakers to hear anything. I pulled out my headphones and plugged them in -- Same result, low volume. When I disabled the X-Fi and enabled my onboard audio, the volume was crystal clear and worked perfectly fine. I didn't change any software, drivers, hardware, or anything of that sort within the two reboots either.
    I checked the obvious and made sure my volume was high in the X-Fi configuration panel, the windows panel, and my media players. Everything was maxed out. When I turned up my volume to the maximum on my speakers I could hear things better, but it was horribly distorted and sounded as if they were being over dri'ven. Normally I never have to increase the volume on the speakers much to hear anything, their usually on about 20-30% and I hear them perfectly fine.
    I posted about this before on another site and It was recommended I try installing the latest drivers. So I decided to do an uninstall of the X-Fi drivers for good measure and, after rebooting, I installed the drivers and rebooted once more as it prompted me. The same exact result as before: sound that seems to have very low volume. After this, they recommended I try a different PCI slot as it may be damaged. I tried the other PCI slot and I had the same exact results as before. I did not want to install the card into the slot right next to my video card because it looked like the fan would be right up against the PCB of the X-Fi and that it might impede air flow and cause both cards to overheat.
    Does anyone know what might be the problem? I'm using the latest drivers I saw (September 9th I believe) and the X-Fi has worked great for the past week and a half. I really don't want to have to own a $00 paperweight and revert to onboard audio.
    Edit: If it helps any, I'm running on the following:
    Asus A8N32 SLI Deluxe
    AMD Opteron 70
    X-Fi Xtrememusic
    GeForce 7900 GT
    If you need any other info, i'll post it.Message Edited by Sagekilla on 0-22-2006 2:9 PM

    Bump.. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? I've made a list of all the fixes I've attempted
    - Checked the volume in Creative's console, the Windows volume control in my tray bar, and in the Control Panel under "Audio and Sound devices"
    - Made sure default device was the X-Fi
    - Made sure the speakers was plugged in the right spot
    - Made sure the speakers weren't faulty (I tested with a pair of head phones and on my iPod)
    - Made sure I had the latest drivers
    - Did the diagnostic, didn't help
    - Did a system restore that made things worse
    - Switched the PCI slot the sound card was in
    - Tried onboard audio and found the audio there worked fine (I don't want onboard audio and a $00 paper weight though)
    - Made sure onboard audio was uninstalled and disabled
    - Posted on the creative labs forums and got no replies
    - Safe Mode doesn't even recognize the Sound card
    I'm pretty sure this isn't something stupid like "Is the volume turned up?"

  • No sound vs low volume

    I recently experienced the loss of all sound on my phone. It began after I unplugged the ear phones. I could not hear it ring and I could not hear anyone on the line although they could hear me. It was basically dead for about 4 hours or until I plugged the ear phones back in causing something to reset or whatever. It works fine now and Apple asked that I call when it occurs again so that we can try and trouble shoot and narrow the problem. I may have a defective phone.
    I do not think this has any correlation with the "low volume" problem that everyone is talking about. I will agree with another writer that the volume is low until you activate the speaker but I have been using the speaker/hands free since the first day so perhaps that is why I have never experienced low volume. I think if the speaker is activated everyone will experience normal sound volume.

    I installed the Audigy 2 ZS last night. Updated everything, all of the drivers. I plug in my speakers, and nothing at low volume. I turn on music, and theres nothing. If I turn the volume all the way up, theres distortion, white noise, and a bunch of static, but I can hear the music very faintly. I've disabled the onboard audio, and followed the FAQ, but nothing. Any ideas?
    Output volume is set with "Wave" and "Master" controls. Max the Wave and control with Master.
    In many cases if PSU is weak --> you get issues of this type. Try to remove (temporarily) devices like CD/DVD, floppy, etc. (just remove power/data cables) to see if PSU is the culprit for your issue.
    Also, have you checked/tried
    - audio HW acceleration and SR conversion quality --> set both max
    - audio codecs --> reinstallation can be helpful
    - muted all other sources but the one(s) you're using (i.e. all other sources can be muted if only playing audio files)
    - digital output only set properly (speaker settings/THX console)
    - speakers connected as should (2/2. --> green jack, etc.) and plugs properly pushed in
    - speakers set correct (2/2., 4/4., 5., 6/6., 7.)
    - used different output device drivers on audio players (DS/MME/WDM/...)
    - ASIO capable player --> shows if you have sound driver issue (creative/windows)
    - reinstalled directX, WMP (updates audio codecs)
    - etc.
