Too low, can barely hear!

When using the speakers from my last PC, a compaq 5670 with onboard sound,
on my new 865PE-based PC, the sound is way too low. With the volume set to max the output from the C-media thingy is just a step above whispering.
The speakers work perfectly with the old PC.
When I use a Computer Subwoofer system, Hi-TEX CP-SW2, the sound is great.
Do one have to use a subwoofer system or something similar with this mobo
to get a descent sound???
I would like to be able to use the speakers from the compaq!
Have I missed some setting/configuration/jumper ???

Hey aggie02, thanks for your input, seems you are right!!
I can always use my "Hi-TEX CP-SW2 computer subwoofer system", so I don't
have to buy anything and with this you could almost start bothering the
neighbours
But I was a bit surprised when tho old crappy Compq PC with onboard sound
manage without amp speakers but not my new msi mobo.
Come to think of it I have a realy old soundblaster soundcard to try out with the
Compaq speakers.
I'm still curios though, can anyone else confirm that the 865PE NEO2 FISR
demands amplification? I don't find anything in the "quick user's guide" about this.

  • Phone volume so low I can barely hear person talking.  Help?

    I'm not sure what happened but now when I'm on a call, I can barely hear the person talking to me.  I tried a soft reset.  That did not work.  I reset my phone from iTunes and that did not work either.  I recently upgraded my software to 5.0.1 and recently added I cloud and imatch.  I have a few new apps but nothing big.  Is there something that I can do?  What might be going on? 

    in the settings under music, select the tab that says "volume limit", and see if the volume is locked on very low or something.

  • Very Low Volume on Phone Calls - Can barely hear the other person

    Just picked up my iPhone 4 at the Apple Store. Tried to make a phone call the the call volume is so low I can barely hear the other person calling.
    The speaker volume is not much better. The other person can hear me fine and says the sound is great.
    The volume dots are all the way up.
    The settings sound voulme under ringer is all the way up.
    ipod volume lock is not activated.
    Any other settings to check out?

    OK now I don't feel like I'm the only one. I've also done a hard reset and still suffer from the same issue.
    Since it seems to be the popular question, no the plastic is no longer on my phone.
    To call the volume I'm hearing a whisper would be a overstatement. This is a much bigger issue than the antenna. The phone is basically unusable without headphones. Unfortunately I'm not very close to a Apple store to exchange.

  • Callers can barely hear me when making a phone call

    Hello!
    For the last 3 days, whenever I am talking on the phone the other person says they can barely hear me, that my voice is too low. My volume during calls is at the maximum and I haven't changed any settings.
    Can someone please help? I have no idea whats happening!
    Thanks,
    Rosin
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Try rebooting your phone (which I recommend doing once a month even if it's running properly). Press and hold the power button until you see 'BlackBerry' on your screen, ignoring anything you see before that. It should take about 20 seconds. Once it's rebooted, try a call and post back with your results.
    Cheers.

  • I can barely hear people

    Hello everyone!
    I have a problem with my new iPhone 5. It's my first iPhone so I'm not too sure what to do.
    I can barely hear people. Everyone sais that they hear me perfectly, but I only hear them when it's silence around me. Everything else works perfectly, sounds, music, everything.
    I have it for 2 days now, and I didn't take that plastic screen-protector off yet. Could that be it? I saw that it doesn't have coutouts.

    If you pause for a second and think about it - while on phone calls, you are covering your only source of sound/voice directly with a protective layer of plastic. How are you supposed to hear the other person talk? It obvously wont hinder the music audio etc. since that is coming out from the bottom of the phone which is not covered with plastic.
    Take the plastic off and it will solve your problem. btw, why anyone would make and receive phone calls with the plastic sheet on the phone is beyond my limited ability to comprehend how things function.

  • Can barely hear incoming call?

    Can barely hear an incoming call.  Sounds very distant.  What can I do to resolve this?  Thanks

    Dear Deborah, I just received my latest iPhone, iPhone 4S and I am experiencing a similar problem. For a hard-of-hearing person this problem might be too much. I have not reset my new phone yet but I am going to do so soon. I will see what happens.
    Another question: How about those ringtones? The iPhone seems to reset itself to the default ringtone constantly eventhough I have put individual ringtones to my contacts. Any ideas how to solve this one?

  • When i called someone they can barely hear me

    Hi please tell me why they can barely hear me when i called them?

    Hey marcelofromtustin,
    I found the following recommended steps for when the person you're talking to claims that you sound muffled or not loud enough:
    Check the volume setting on your iPhone. You can adjust the volume by pressing the volume up and down buttons on the left side of the iPhone.
    If you are using a third-party iPhone case, make sure it is not covering the speaker, microphone, or top microphone. Try making some calls without the case to see if a caller can now hear you more clearly or play music to see if the speaker's volume is better.
    If you have not removed the plastic display film used for protection during shipment, either ensure that the microphone and speaker are not covered or remove the film completely.
    Check that the speaker, microphone mesh covers, and top microphone hole are not clogged with lint or other debris.
    If the speaker, microphone mesh, or top microphone (iPhone 4 only) appear clogged, please use a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush to clean them. To do this follow these instructions:
    Use the brush to carefully and gently brush the speaker and microphone mesh.
    Brush away from the 30-pin dock connector to avoid getting any debris into the dock connector.
    If the issue persists, go to: apple.com/support/iphone/service/faq/ for information on service.

  • When watching movies on my iPad with headphones (they're Bose so good quality) on an airplane I can barely hear the sound with everything turned up--any suggestions to increase sound level outside of normal volume adjustments?  thanks for the help

    When watching a movie on my iPad 2 with headphones (they're Bose so good quality) on a plane I can barely hear even with volume at highest level--any suggestions on how to increase sound level outside of normal settings-sound level even lower when using a splitter--thanks

    Same problem with all headphones and earbuds--just checked settings and Volume Limit was already off--starting to think it's a volume system flaw tied to videos and related sound.   No problem getting plenty of sound volume for music, only videos. 

  • How come some podcasts are loud while others I can barely hear?

    I enjoy listening to podcasts while at work.  I work in a place that does not allow head phones nor does it allow for a stereo.  I use a small iHome speaker. The Red Eye Radio podcast has a perfect volume level, while the Billy Cunningham podcast, Bill Burr, and Stuff you should Know podcasts can barely hear at full volume. How come the volume is so different from show to show.  Can't there be some kind of podcast/broadcast standard.  I enjoy all these programs but find myself only listening to the ones I can hear.

  • I can barely hear callers, bars frequently X-ed out, showing no Sim card

    Just recently I can barely hear the caller on my Droid DNA.  I have not damaged my phone in any way.  Also it starts showing no SIM card.  I will restart and then that will fix itself but the volume for the caller barely exists.  My volume is turned up.  I have no problem hearing ring tones, etc and people can hear me.  Also my bars will sometimes just x out and I have to reboot again.  I am sick of not being able to hear my callers. Help!!!!

    A few things to try:
    Remove the SIM and reseat it, then restart the phone.
    Go to a Verizon store and have them replace the SIM with a new one (it's free)
    Try a system cache clear (instructions below)
    Set your preferred Network mode to LTE/CDMA
    System cache clear:
    Power down phone
    Hold volume up/down & power simultaneously until you see the Boot Mode Selection Menu
    Use volume down to navigate to 'Recovery', use volume up to select
    Should see screen with triangle and exclamation point next to an Android
    Press volume up/down simultaneously to go into system recovery
    Use volume rocker to navigate to 'wipe cache' and use power button to select
    Once finished, use volume rocker to navigate to 'reboot system now' and use power button to select

  • I can barely hear the person on the other line, i tried resetting but it didnt work

    I can barely hear the person on the other line, i tried resetting as suggested by other users but it didn't work. Help!!

    Do you have a screen protector covering the speaker?
    Have you powered the iPhone off and back on?

  • I can barely hear my ringer or Siri with my volume set all the way up.

    I can barely hear my ringer and it's turned all the way up.  I can't hear Siri at all but I can visually see that it's working.  The ringer is completely silent when I turn the volume down two bars.

    Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings.  If that doesn't work, create a backup then restore AS NEW.  If it still doesn't work after restoring & wiping everything off, take it to an ARS or call tech support to get it replaced.  Don't worry, all of your info will be backed up if you follow the steps in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
