Low volume in headphone

Hi
I have HP ENVY 4 Notebook PC 1002 tx.. My headphones were working fine till few days back. But, now out of no where voulme in headphone is too low. 
I have tried restoring the system but didnt worked. I have also tried going to Control Panel -> Sounds -> Speaker and Headphones -> Properties -- Everything is maxed there. But, no result.
PC speakers are working just fine. Headphones are working fine when tested on mobile. Please help. 

Hi Pranz29,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I would like to take a moment and thank you for using the forum, it is a great place to find answers. For you to have the best experience in the HP forum, I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I grasp that your headphones were working fine until  few days ago, when the volume became very low. The speakers are working fine.   You tried a restore but that did not help.
Have you tried a different set of headphones or tried your headphones in a different computer?
Here is a link to Resolving Microphone and Line-in Problems (Windows 7).
Have you checked the port or headphone for damage?
I hope this has helped.

    I have the exact same problem. i have  a macbook pro 13in (mid 2009) with extremely low volume coming from headphone jack. i brought the computer into my local apple store today and they diagnosed my problem as being the result of a faulty logic board. my laptop is out of warranty so they have to send it to the apple repair depot for 3-5 days. the charge is a flat $280 (tax not included). the solution seems extreme though and i hope i don't get any "kernel panicking" with a new board. i will update... also there is no accidental damge to my laptop whatsoever. the problem arrose 2-3wks ago

  • Really low volume on headphones with iPad mini iOS 8.2

    Hello,
    Problem is with an iPad mini running iOS 8.2. When I connect any headphone/earbud to my iPad mini I can't hear a thing. Actually the sound is not totally muted but really really really low, almost imperceptible. The headphones are fine -tried them on mac/pc/iPhone-.  I've tried with different headphones (at least 5 different sets), tried adjusting the volume max-low-max (I can see volume bar on screen showing headphones), plugging unplugging the headphones -also plugging them very hard-, restarting the iPad by turning it off pressing and holding lock button and then sliding to power off, rebooting it holding lock and home button together. None of these have solved the problem. iPad speakers are fine. This issue happens with every app with sound: Videos, Music, YouTube, FaceTime, etc. I recently upgraded the software to iOS version 8.2. I'm sure this worked in the past. 
    Any help would be highly appreciated.
    Thank you.
    Laura.

    Unless you've accidentally set a volume limit within music settings, there's probably a problem with your headphone jack. You should also try a complete restore of your iPad just incase. Otherwise, since you've tried everything else, it sounds like its a hardware problem

  • Low volume in headphone in iphone 4s.

    I have an iPhone 4S, iOS 7.0.4 installed. The volume coming out from my earphone is significantly low comparesd to other iPhone 4S, this is creating a trouble. I'd also like to mention that, my loudspeaker is okay (checked), my earphone is okay (checked with other phon s), my iOS is running flawlessly. I restart my phone hundreds of times. I restored my OS with fresh firmware several times. My headphone port (3.5mm) is working flawlessly aside from the fact that, the volume level is approx 60% of oter same phones. I don't have a warranty.
    Any kind of help, advice or suggestion will do. Thanks in advance.

    this is a pain isnt it
    I plug my beats into the iphone4s, I'm listening away, and then I get an SMS. I click close, coz I wont read that right now, and instantly my volume increases !!, but get this, as soon as the song is finshed and the next song plays, my volume reduces back down again. I need another sms to get my volume back up !!
    So Im thinking, OK, the iphone wants to alert me with Chime - coz its a new SMS, raises its volume, but can neither sustain that volume through to my next song, nor if I unplug my beats and put em back in again.
    *** apple, sort this out!!

  • Nokia 5800 Low volume from headphones

    Just wondering if anyone else thinks the volume for music playback, even when set at max, with earphones is pretty low? (Not exactly "Big On Sound"!)
    Is there any way to change this?

    For Bass:
    - Select Bass Booster In Equalizer
    - Select Loudness (On) in Settings
    - Turn Stereo Widening OFF in Settings
    Now turn up the volume and enjoy
    For Loud Music:
    - Select Default In Equalizer
    - Select Loudness (On) in Settings
    - Turn Stereo Widening OFF in Settings
    Now turn up the volume and enjoy...

  • Very Low volume from headphone output on iMac

    Since upgrading my 2011 27" iMac to Yosemite, the sound output from the headphone jack has plummeted, to a point where I can hardly hear it through my external speakers. Before, it was deafening, now it is almost inaudible. Airplay output and the internal speakers seem unaffected. I have restarted, zapped the PRAM, checked Audio MIDI Setup, checked Sound Prefs, everything is turned up to the max, to no effect.
    Any idea what might be happening here?

    I also experience the same problem with my MacBook Pro 13" last gen. I haven't used my iPod's earphone with it for some time. I have noticed this problem since yesterday (4/6/2010). Beside resetting PRAM, repairing disk and its permission, plug and unplug the head jack, tried with different earphones, check the Audio Midi Setup; I also deleted all audio plist files in /Library and ~/Library folders (incase those preference files are corrupted). Those efforts fail to solve the problem.
    Is this a problem caused by 10.6.3? I never have a problem while still using 10.6.2.

  • Presario CQ61/Windows 7 low volume on speakers.

    My laptop's hard drive died irretreivably two months after the warranty expired. On getting it back, it could not read the third recovery disk in the set, so I installed everything relevant that I could find on the HP website. Most things are now working, except that 
    The volume from the built-in speakers is extremely low, although the headphone output is high enough to drive external speakers.
    I get no low battery warning, even though it is set in the power plan.
    It's very possible that I'm missing a driver or something, so I'd be really grateful for any help, as before the HDD died this was a great machine.

    Try opening your audio control panel, Usually IDT and make sure that the audio enhancements are enabled.
    You can also go to control panel>SOund>speaker properties>Enhancements>Enable enhancements like Equalizer.
    NOTE: all the options may not be available.

  • 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?"

  • Low volume, no enhancements tab to fix issue

    Hello 
    I have a Pavilion g6 HP laptop, running on windows 8. 
    I am experiencing a problem with very low volume. How can I fix this? I have seen in previous questions that this response has worked for people:
    Right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select 'Playback Devices'.  Left click the default device once to highlight it ( it's usually 'speakers & headphones' ) then click the Properties button.  Click the Enhancements tab and put a tick in the box next to 'Loudness Equalization'.  Click Apply to save the change and then click OK in all remaining windows and see if this has helped at all.
    However, there is no enhancements tab on my system! Help!
    Thanks

    Same problem here.. This problem is from years with the hp laptop speakers and they do nothing... That is very irresponsible.. Well, HP you're gonna release some official fix for that or what? Seriously I'm going to switch to dell because of your useless support.By the way why are you doing a support forum when you DO NOT KNOW the answer of the problems? Huh... 

  • 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.

  • FIX for low volume, sort of....

    I finally broke down and called tech support last night about the low volume issues I was having. The music and videos are all loud enough and when using the headset and/or headphones but calls, speakerphone and voice mail are all very low even when turned all the way up. To listen to the VMails I had to hold the bottom of the phone near my ear.
    When on the phone he told me to hold down the top button and the home key which I had done before but I always stopped when the slide to turn off appeared. He said to hold both down until the "apple logo" appeared. I did this twice.
    I did this and my volume increased by about 10-15% for the calls, speaker phone and VMail increased about 25% same for the music and videos. I can now hear the Vmails comfortably holding the iPhone about 2' in front of me no more holding it to my ear. The music and videos are now so loud that I dont have to turn it up past about half way.
    The volume for calls could still be a little louder as I still have it maxed out but that to is much better than before.
    He also asked if I used a case and I said yes but it didnt block the speaker. He asked me to remove the case as the entire bottom piece of the iPhone is thinner and a different material and allows sound through "in a way". I thought he was crazy but I removed my case and viola another nice volume increase for the VM, speakerphone, music and videos.

    Thanks, pool_shark and Tidbits.  I guess I'll have to wait for the 4.03 update.  I keep my volume at maximum.  I had a Plantronics bluetooth when I got the phone, have since purchased a Jawbone, a newer Plantronics, and a Blue Ant.  Have returned the first two and will return the Blue Ant if I don't get the update before the return period is over.  This is really frustrating, but at least it's good to know Google is working on a fix.

  • Sound is very low volume

    I've done a search but can't seem to find any info re the sound volume on my bw G3. The sound out of both the front, built in speaker, and through the headphones, is very low volume output, almost but not quite muted. I've searched and adjusted the controls but to no avail. Could this be a hardware problem or software? There 'is' some movement when I adjust the volume slider but it takes the level from what would normally be 2 of 10 down to nothing. That is, there is no way for me to get the sound to levels that within normal limits. It's like the output is being blocked somehow but is still leaking through enough for me to make out the particular sound (song in this case) that I'm listening to.
    Any help would be appreciated. It might not be worth puttiing any money into and I'd like to at least try.
    Michael

    Michael,
    Sounds like you are ahead of the game on testing with headphones. External speakers would not make much of a difference without an amplifier.
    "(is there another place to check sound output?)" If you had an AV output you could test sound out of that card. Finding a card might be cheaper than any repair bill and give you a definative answer on if their is a system software level problem.

    These articles do not all address your model but give some perspective on software and hardware issues, including how just reseting the PRAM on some machines is the official Apple response.
    If you go to the advanced search link at the top of the page and make a query for "no sound" you should get a response similar to this link:

  • My new iPod touch (4th gen) has a significantly lower volume than my old one. I have maxed all the volumes and turned off the volume limit to no help. Can anyone help?

    My new ipod touch 4th gen has a much lower volume than my old one, i have maxed the volumes out and got rid of all volume limits which has nor helped. Can anyone help?

  • 7.6 low volume of sounds

    ever since updating to 7.6.80.103 the sounds have a low volume since previous versions.
    for example when wearing headphones, and i receive a message i would hear the sound very loud in my ears, now  i can barely hear it.
    everything is in max setting in both skype and in windows volume sliders.
    did you lower the volume of the sounds?

    Hey themky,
    Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like a problem with the receiver on the iPhone. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
    If you can't hear a person on a call or voicemail or if the sound quality is poor on iPhone
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Have a nice day,
    Mario
