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...

When is the low volume problem going to be fixed? ZTE Open C Firefox OS 1.3

Listening to youtube videos on this phone is near impossible, they're barely audible. I've had to make another post about this cause the other one isn't easy to find. Also the volume could do with being a bit louder on media files. Would appreciate a fix for this problem.

Hi Syex,
There is a bug tracking the issue of volume on headphones and stereo-out on Firefox OS:

I would also suggest reaching out to the manufacturer directly to get this looked into, in case it's a device-specific issue.

Fix low volume output on Sky HD Boxes

Here a suggestion for you. Why dont you fix the low volume out on the Sky HD boxes? Loads of people have complained about it. Do something about it.

I have finally found a very cost effective solution to this problem. Cancelled Sky subscription and got Freesat with a Humax box. This does not have the fault that the Sky HD boxes have. In fact it has an "on the remote" volume control, and when this is turned to max the volume is exactly as it should be. The volume control works both the HDMI and the analogue outputs. Additionally there is also a mute button on the remote, again muting both outputs. Perfect. Cost effective because since I have been a Sky subscriber for over a decade, now cancelled, assuming I would have stayed with them for another decade I have saved myself £4121 including the initial cost of the Freesat box. Quite a shocking amount of money that I will be saving, having calculated it. Shame on Sky for not correcting this software issue when it was first reported by many users, especially as the volume function used to be there and they removed it. For those thinking of doing the same as me, the Freesat / Freetime system is excellent, the EPG is as good as Sky and the "roll back" TV aspect of the EPG far superior to that of Sky. Picture quality is at least as good (probably better as box is Full HD) The BBC iplayer implementation is also not the "cut down" version thst Sky have also implemented (another software short cut that bugged me), i.e. it is the same as you'd see on your PC / smart TVs with FULL programme content. What you don't get is Sky Atlantic but since I never watched this in over a decade made no difference to me.

Tab 7 low volume

Is it possible to fix the low volume problem on this tablet. Thanks.

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.

My low volume button doesn't work on my Iphone 4, how can I fix it?

Okay so I dropped my iphone in the parking lot garages of my apartment complex and the ground was cement, when i picked it up the screen wasn't cracked or anything so i thought it was okay but once i started listening to music and I wanted to lower the volume and so I pushed the low volume button but nothing happen....The high volume button works fine but now the low volume button so if you want to lower the volume on my phone now you have to do it manually....Also after the drop i turned off silent mode on the side and the clicking sound wasn't there and I checked in the settings, it said it was on and the volume was on but I heard no clicking sound!!! How can I solve these two problems? Can I go to an Apple Store and let them fix my iphone if I don't have AppleCare?

Hi there Jaz94,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.

Low volume issue, no answers?

Hi, I have an old AX, perhaps 2004, or 2003 that can only stream tunes at very low volume out of the minijack to rca output. Consequently I have to turn the volume of my amp way up, and it is distorted, so is unlistenable. It is also dangerous because if I change an input on the amp, I could blow my speakers.
I see alot of talk with no fix on this from the 2007-2008 timeframe, but no answers.
I have rebooted the unit, changed cables and no luck.
I may have had this problem for some time, but as I was using the optical connection, I did not notice it.
Could it be that the unit is just too old to be reliable? It seems to be working as far as the utility set up is concerned.
Thanks for any help in advance!

Forgot to mention that I have all the available volume options at max.

Hi, Just bought an ipod classic 160gb and i notice that when I turn the volume down all the way, music is still heard, i.e. I cannot turn it down lower than a certain volume. Is there a fix for this? Thanks

I've got a feeling that's the way it is. I know that if I turn the volume down all the way, I can still hear the music very softly -- which is great for listening when I have a migraine!

Any fix for Jam Pack 4 low volume loops?

I'm using Jam Pack 4 with Garage Band 2. I find that very many of the orchestral loops are recorded at such a low volume they are unusable. Even when placed into a Garage Band track and volume pushed to the "max" they are still not loud enough to balance with other tracks, making them useless. I went to the download area and thought there was a fix [Jam Pack 4 V 1.0.1]. The download would not install, saying "There is nothing to install." Frustrated. Any suggestions? I searched the forum topics and haven't this problem. Is it just me?

Garret,
Can you give a few examples of loops that play low?
Where in CT?

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.

Hi, sorry to hear that you are having issues with your new notebook audio. I will be happy to help with the issue but first I will need to know the exact model number of the computer as well as the operating system you are using. To find the model number, please look on the bottom of the computer. You will see a white sticker. Here is where you will find the model number. If by chance you do not see the model number, please remove the battery and you will find it. I look forward to hearing from you.

Low volume issues

I have recently noticed that nearly all the music I downl from the iTunes store has an annoyingly low volume. The final straw was when I download tracks from the new Foo Fighters album and I could barely hear them. This is not an issue with my hearing as there are plenty of other song that I have either ripped from CDs or got from Amazon that have normal volume levels. It's as if Apple are anticipating law suits so are lowering the volume. I did ask for support but all I was told was to try downloading the songs again which didn't help. Can anyone suggest something or do I have to stop buying stuff from iTunes and going back to bu

No enhancements tab for loudness equalization

Hi,
I've watched several youtube videos and read the same instructions here, on how to increase overall system volume through the enhancements tab and "loudness equalization". When I go through the steps, both of these are missing.
I checked to make sure I have the latest sound driver installed, and I do. (IDT High Definition Audio CODEC). I think I read that a previous version had access to this tab, but I have no idea how to install older drivers.
Can anyone help to do that, or is there another way to maximize sound with this model? Why do the factory settings come so low? Is it to get people to buy extenal speakers?
Thanks

I grasp that your audio is very low and you are unable to increase the overall volume on the system.
Here are two links I think may help.
High Definition Audio Driver will not Install until the Microsoft UAA Bus Driver is Installed
No Sound from the Speakers (Windows 7)
Best of Luck!

No Equalizer (AKA Enhancements tab) For SoundMax Driver

Is there a way I can get the Enhancements tab For my Lenovo ThinkPad T60p?
I really only want an equalizer for when I'm watching YouTube videos and other things that do not have an equalizer.
Also, my graphics card crashes a lot, is this because it is old, I overpower it (I play 3D games), or a combination?
