Very Low Sound, occured out of nowhere.

Out of nowhere, the sound on my computer will only go to about 1/4 of the actual maximum volume, even when everything is turned up to max in alsamixer, and on my main module. This occured out of nowhere one day, and i can't seem to find a solution to it anywhere. Any advice?
Here's my dmesg and uname -a outputs:

I have the same soundcard (or at least the same modules loaded) and I'm getting good volume.
Things to check:
If you have the pcm and main volume all the way up in alsa mixer that should be it. You may have to adjust the volume separately if you use esd, arts, pulse, or jack (I don't use them).
Another thing to test is to make sure your using alsa not oss, and you may want to raise the oss level and see what happens.
The final thing is you want to check to see which sound device the audio programs are using (usually found in the preferences).
If none of that works, then you're out of luck. It would help if you post what sound programs you are using and what sound daemons you are using.
Here is my Daemons line from /etc/rc.conf
DAEMONS=(@syslog-ng @network @netfs @crond @alsa @hal @fam)
So i would think im using alsa not oss. but how would i go about raising the oss to make sure? there is no "oss" option in alsamixer. I have tried just abuot every audio progream there is and even firefox, all of them produce about half of the maximum volume level.

Nokia E7 Very low sound coming out , is it a ringe...

my nokia e7 's sound is very very low barely heard , i have to put it ony my face to hear the musicor handfree calls
i want to replace the external ringer but want to make sure first that its not a motherboard problem ,
is there any way to know whats wrong with it ?
and recently i noticed that the callers sound in phone call , handset , has gone low too , so does it need replacement too ? or does that indicate thats a motherboard problem ?

Your best option would be to send it to a Nokia care point for inspection,you could try a hard reset if you like first but remember to back up data.
If i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.

Very very low sound in internal speaker

Hi I have satellite A505 S6005 some days ago its internal speaker did not give sound today i realize that very very low sound is coming in right speaker. i aleady reinstall realtek latest version and re istall the bios version 1.4 kindly help me

Don't forget to check the physcial volume control dial on the side of the laptop. Not easy to see, and many people aren't aware that it exists. I had a low volume problem and was pulling my hair out for a day or two until I realised it was there.

Very low sound volume on Portege R500

The sound volume on my R500 (R500-11c to be exact) is ridiculously low. Only with volume maxed out (100) and using headphones do I hear anything at all, and even then it's way too low to be useful. I can just make out the test sounds in the left and then right earphone when using the test sound found at Control Panel -> Sound -> Speakers (there are no Headphones to be selected) -> Properties -> Advanced -> Test. Unplugging the headphones I hear nothing from the speakers, due to the (very low) sounds made by the fan and HDD. Playing music (with headphones) I can just make out that sounds are being produced, but I can't even make out what is playing.
I've tested the things mentioned in the "Satellite 5105-S901 Sound is very low (even on max volume) using supplied Toshiba driver" thread with no success (including Loudness Equalization).
I'm running Vista Business 32bit, and have tried the driver_audio_realtek26117B.exe, driver_audio_realtek_TC00157600B.exe, and Vista_Win7_R243_x86.exe driver files, and also used the util_mute_off_25847B.exe utility.
Enabling mute makes the already faint sounds go completely silent, so I don't think it's a mute issue.
Jack detection does work, I can see that in the Realtek HD Audio Manager program. Using that program's sound test (Speaker Configuration) I have to go to a completely silent room, and even then I only hear something in the right earphone. (I think; it's so darn low I could be imagining I hear it.)
Decreasing the sound volume slider from 100 does make the almost inaudible sound even harder to even notice, and at around 45 it is no longer audible even in a quiet room with headphones.
So it seems that I somehow need to reset the audio chip to "normal" level. Or it is broken and can't output anything more audible.
Does anyone have any ideas what I can try next? I can boot to XP or Linux if anyone has any ideas on how to get sound there, just to get started. (They're silent as well, I haven't done as extensive testing under those as under Vista.)

Hello, and thanks for answering.
Yes, I have tried increasing the volume in control panel -> Realtek HD audio manager. No success.
I have used a bunch of different drivers, both from toshiba's website and realtek's.
Recently did a fresh XP install on another hard drive (don't have Vista install media), tried both 5.10.0.5869 and 5.10.0.6066 drivers (5.10.0.6066 is from march 13, 2010), sound still as low no matter what I do.
Did the really desperate thing: bought a new (used) sound module on ebay ("Toshiba Portege R500 (PPR50E-00L048EN) USB jack" on ebay.co.uk), but it has the same problem as the original one.
A hardware problem... well maybe, I was thinking perhaps the sound module doesn't get enough power from the motherboard, but since there is some sound (although very low), the USB jack on the module works, the headphone/mic jack detection works, and the diagnostics found in the Control Panel all say that the device is working OK, I don't think it's a hardware problem.
I'm guessing there is a problem with the drivers initializing the sound to a ridiculously low setting, and increasing the volume level to 100 makes it go up to a level equal to perhaps 2 in a regular system. That should be solved by a fresh install, but it isn't.
Perhaps the BIOS messes up the sound? But re-flashing the BIOS doesn't help...
Anyone got any other ideas?
I've googled and found people having problems with low sound volume on other laptops using the ALC262 chip, but no general solution.

Qosmio X500 - Very low sound

Hello everyone!
I have a problem with my new Qosmio X500. Its speakers produce a very low sound, especially when I'm using Guitar Pro. Please, tell me, if it can be improved somehow. Thanks a lot!

Have you tried adjusting the speaker enhancements? This Increased the volume quite a bit for me.
Open "SOUND" from the control panel, on the "Playback" tab double click "Speakers" This will bring up the "Speaker Properties" box. Go to the enhancements Tab. "Loudness Equalization" made the biggest increase for me.

No/very low sound out of center spea

I have the sound blaster li've! 24-bit card and i just bought a brand new logitech x-530 system, and hooked it up and everything worked except for the front speaker. I have tried the whole EAX thing and it didn't do anything. I played a game and everything worked, like I could hear the shots behind me and stuff but when i shot a gun, no sound came out the front speaker, and i know thats not right. When i do the creative speaker settings and put it on 5. and do channel it does all of them but the front, but when i put my head way up to the speaker i can hear it. Is there something I need or am I just missing something? PLEASE HELP!!!

I kinda have the same problem - I have no sound from center speaker when doing speaker test, but it's works loud and clear for all other applications.

Very low sound

Just purchased Mini Notebook NB205-N230. I am very disappointed in the sound quality. All the speaker icons indicate they are at 100% and nothing is muted. What do I do? Thanks

It appears the NB205-N230 uses some form of Realtek audio drivers. If this is the case check for and enable "Loudness Equalization" on the Speaker Properties. This has helped improve the low audio levels on other Toshiba latpops. Under Windows 7 Home with the Realtek HD audio drivers the "Loudness Equalization" check box can be found on the Control Panel --> Hardware and Sound --> Sound --> Speakers (select Speakers then select the Properties button) --> Enhancements tab. "Loudness Equalization" is found under the enhancement options list (may have to scroll down the list to find it). Another way to enable the "Loudness Equalization" option if you find a Realtek Audio Manager icon under the Hardware and Sound page, is to look on the Sound Effects tab of the Audio Manager and enable the "Loudness Equalization" check box and click OK to save the settings.
Other suggestions are to update the audio drivers from either the Toshiba support site or from the Realtek site and enable "Loudness Equalization" if the option is available. On my L505 series laptop the default installed audio drivers and the updated Toshiba ones both exhibited very low audio. Uninstalling the Toshiba version that came with the laptop and installing the Microsoft generic audio driver or installing the latest Realtek drivers from Realtek and enabling "Loudness Equalization" helped improve the system sounds audio volume level.

Speaker very low sound

The speaker of my HP slate 10 is very low...please help me!
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Dear Customer,
Welcome to HP Support Forum and we are glad to assist you.
It looks like you are having difficulties with regards to the volume of the Table [HP Slate 10]
Please try rebooting the Table once to check if that resolves the issue
OR
How does your Slate perform with just audio files using the Play Music app? And, have you tried playing a movie trailer from Google Play? Just tap on a movie title and play the trailer by tapping on the > arrow.
What about if you use earphones?
Do you ear system sounds? Go into Settings>Sounds>Touch Sounds where there is a checkbox on the right indicating whether Touch Sounds are on or off.
The speakers on the Slate aren't all that, but they do produce sound that's loud enough to listen to TV shows and movies. If you can't get enough volume from them with other apps such as Play Music, there may be a hardware issue.
A couple other suggestions...try restarting it. And back to earphones, try inserting an earphone plug all the way in, and removing it.
Hope this helps, for any further queries reply to the post and feel free to join us again

Headset speaker very low sound

i've been using my iphone 4s for 3 months now and i don't have any problem in these 3 months. now the headset speaker is very low, whenever i spoke to somebody i turned on the loudspeaker, sound is there but it's too low, this happens after upgrading to a new software IOS 5.1. please help!

Turn the volume up.

[SOLVED] Very low sound level after installing kernel26-2.6.30

I can't see this issue anywhere, so I'm sorry if I duplicate it here.
Since the upgrade to 2.6.30, the sound on my desktop system (VIA P4M890) is very low. (I also have a Thinkpad with an Intel GM45 chipset, and this is working like a charm.)
I'm using a very simple ALSA configuration. There is sound, but it is just almost inaudible. I've set the highest possible level in alsamixer and when I turn up the volume to the maximum, I can hear sound. But it is very weak and not very clear. It's not related to hardware failure: rolling back to 2.6.29 fixes the problem.
Did anyone detect the same issue?

Alright mate, thanks. Let me try that.
In fact, I didn't have that new channel, but I set the VIA DXS mixers to 100% (like described here: http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/Via) and now everything is working.
Great!

B75a-g41 very low sound

Hey, just installed windows on my new rig and once I plugged in my headphones the sound comes out very quiet, even on 100% volume. Before this MB I had gigabyte one and with that I used 10% volume with headphones. I'm pretty sure I have all the correct drivers installed and all.

Would love to restore, but somehow my restore has not been creating restore points. My only restore point is yesterday. Otherwise I do believe it would fix this.

Audigy 2 ZS + Vista 64bit resolves in very low maximum volume out

Hi,
I did just install Windows Vista Ultimate 64bit Edition on my computer.
I've got a CREATIVE Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS sound card, and I downloaded and installed the drivers for it.
I did not run into any complications while installing the driver, but after the driver was successfully installed and I rebooted my computer the first thing that hit me was the fact that the volume output was VERY LOW.
I have to boost my volume to the maximum to even be able to hear my music and games at a decent volume level. The maximum volume output seems to have been reduced with at least 50% compared to what I had with Windows XP Professional.
I've tried to configure every sound settings I can find, but without any luck.
The sound card is completely useless with this low maximum volume output, when I can barley hear my music or in-game sound.
Is this a common problem?
Have do I solve it's
I need at least 10% increase in the sound volume, otherwise the sound card is pointless.

Yes I did, I've checked everywhere I can possibly think of. Have boosted everything to the max, but still it's way to low

Very low sound volume on Skype, but OK on everything else

I know this subject has already been raised but I have tried all the suggestions on other posts on this topic, but still the volume of Skype is very low. I can only hear the conversation in a very quiet environment. The same low volume applies when I check the sound in Skype or do a test call. I am using an Acer laptop (built in speakers) and Windows Vista which is up to date. All sliders on the sound mixer are on 100% and the box Automatically Adjust Speaker Settings in Skype is unticked. I am using a recent version of Skype (installed about a month ago) The sound volume on iTunes and other applications is absolutely fine! Please keep explanations simple, I am not a computer expert... Thank you!

Skype was working then became very quiet.I am on Win7/64 Creative soundcard, Latest Skype
The solution (for me) was simple.
Go to: Skype>Tools>Options>Audio Settings>Speakers
In my set up there is a dropdown to select what speakers Skype should use. It was using Digital Audio Interface There was also another option called "Speakers" I chose speakers and the volume returned to match the rest of the system
How it got set incorrectly is a mystery. I guess "Gargy Watts" must have set it, as my old mum used to say... or the Skype Fairy has been fiddling, as I have other things on my mind rather than fiddling with Skype settings and I'm the only one to use the PC!
I hope this helps some of you guys and gals

Very Low Sound, occured out of nowhere.
