Very low volume from external speakers when watching Netflix

MacBook Pro Why might external speaker volume be extremely low when it is turned up to max in Sounds and on F11?

Do the external speakers have their own volume control?

  • Very little sound from external speakers

    After upgrading to Lion, there seems to be very little sound coming from my external speakers.  Speakers work with other devices but not so much with MacBook Pro.  In iTunes, the volumn slider is maxed out with the speaker volumn on the keyboard maxed out too.  Used to blast out the house, but not now.
    Don't know if it's as a result of the upgrade or not.  I did a PRAM reset but still nothing.
    Any advice? 
    Thanks in advance.

    Volume control on the speakers themselves?

  • HP laptops diverting sounds from external speakers when headphones connected

    Hi there,
    The problem is reproduced in several cases, but the most annoying is the following:
    1. Headphones are connected to the laptop (I assume all sounds must go to the headphones, not to the speaker)
    2. Have skype (or googletalk or several other apps) run in background
    3. Have browser (chrome, firefox) open and youtube video is being showed
    4. Message comes to IM (skype, gtalk...) and when BEEP from the application is played - it is played not in headphones, but in external speakers!
    I though the issue was with skype - but after some time I faced with the same problem in other apps - and it is not reproduced on other laptops (not HP).
    The problem is being seen on several different HP laptops. Here is details of my laptop:
    HP ProBook 6550b WD700EA#ACB
    Windows7 Enterprise 64bit, SP1

    Ok I have it Fixed on my computer.
    In the control panel then sound there are 3 devices.
    AMD HDMI Output
    AMD High Definition Audio Device
    Speakers and Headphones
    IDT High Definition Audio CODEC
    Communications Headphones
    IDT High Definition Audio CODEC
    What apears to happen is that as soon as a communications type program starts it devides the audio inbetween 2 mixers and seperated the headphone jack from the main audio card. As soon as I right clicked and disabled the "Communications Headphones" Then there is only one mixer that focres all applications to use the heaphone jack instead of the regular applications through the external speakers and communication applications to the headphone.
    If for any reason you want to reactivate the "Communications Headphones" one you disable you will need to right click in the sound windows and select show disabled devices.

  • Very Low Volume From my Brand New Traveldock!

    I just got my traveldock for my Zen Microphoto...and am very disappointed... I can barely hear it!! I do not have the "soft sound" button on, and I've checked the connection--it IS docked properly. The sound is of fine quality, just very very low... I have the Microphoto turned all the way up AND the volume on the Traveldock turned all the way up. Please help.

    I have the same problem. It appears the audio jack doesn't make proper alignment. It works fine when plugged in through the line in port using a cord. The remote doesn't control the microphoto either when docked. It appears that the microphoto is supported by the traveldock? Any ideas? Does Creative even read these posts? ?

  • Feedback from external speakers when Thunderbolt display plugged in. What is this?

    I have a set of Logitech speakers that are connected through a regular 3.5mm male to male audio cable. The sound is fine until I plug in my display through the Thunderbolt connection. (It is a VGA->Thunderbolt adapter.) As soon as I plug it in, there is a monotone feedback coming through the speakers, at about half the volume of the rest of the sound. This only happens to the speakers-- when I use headphones, there is no feedback. The speakers don't do this feedback with any other sound source.
    Is there possibly a setting I should use to get rid of this feedback? Or can someone explain why this might be happening?

    Sounds like it could be a result of less-than-ideal shielding on one or more of your cables. Might see if moving the cables away from each other reduces or eliminates the feedback.
    Might also be one or both of the adapters that you're using.

  • 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.

  • Very low volume from Music Video

    I purchased a music video for the first time and the volume is way, way too low. I have my powerbook cranked all the way up and it's still way too soft. All my other music plays just fine. What can be done about this? It was Alice In Chains music video "Would?"

    Hi,
    One thing can help is the following.  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.

  • Audigy 2 ZS with 5.1, very low volume from front center spea

    I have an Audigy 2 ZS and Altec Lansing 25CN speakers (5.). The sound comes out fine from all but the front center speaker, from which I can barely hear anything. However, if I run the Creative Diagnostic and test the speakers, the sound comes out just fine. Tests in the THX Console work fine too. Anyone have an idea what's going on?

  • My iPod Touch will not play through external speakers when it is docked.  It only plays through it's internal speaker.  All the other functions on the iPod can be controlled by the external speakers (volume,track, etc).  How do I fix this?

    My iPod Touch will not play through external speakers when it is docked.  It only plays through it's internal speaker.  All the other functions on the iPod can be controlled by the external speakers (volume,track, etc).  How do I fix this?

    I would try in oreder:
    - Resetting the iPod:
    Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restoring the iPod via iTunes.  First from backup and if problem persists, restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • 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:

    Be sure and include pre 1997 hardware.

  • Very low volume in the speaker

    Dears
    i've notice of the very low volume level from the built in speaker of the earliest Mac Pro ( i've one ) compared to the previous one (2008...i've one). Is this normal ?
    Thanks in advance.

    I can tell you right now, that's a complete waste of time! They're just gonna tell you it's "in spec."
    It's a crumby speaker... deal with it. If you really care that much about the volume of the audio, you should just get a good pair of external speakers!

  • Very Low Volume Output - Audigy 2

    Hi,
    All of a sudden my Audigy 2 ZS card has very low volume. Tried different speakers, tried uninstall/reinstall, tried clean boot of XP, no luck. Also, there is faint crackling when I turn volume up but I believe it's only because speakers are fully cranked and there is hardly any sound coming out.
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    I didn't have any place to test the card but I did replace it with another one. Unfortunately, the other card gives the same result - very low volume. I suppose this means there is a problem with the motherboard. Do you agree? Is there any other test I could do that might pinpoint the problem area?
    Yes, I received a "reply" from Creative. It was a form email that said they received my message and would respond (usually) within 24 hours. That is the only message I received from them.

  • Hi. I Have a Pavilion dv9000 which has always had very low volume - really needs to be increased?

    Hi. I Have a Pavilion dv9000 with Vista Ultimate 64.  It has always had very low volume and I find I generally have to have the volume up into the 70's 80's as well as the onscreen media player slider almost full -  which then gets all distorted - and then have to turn it down again when not using the player as the computer error beeps come screaming out., Ive checked the settings on speakers to make sure all are the same & balanced and also have updated any codecs as needed. Is there a sound lever setting elsewhere?
    cheers

    Thanks for the reply and peeling my post off Mike, sorry I didn't start my own initially.
    Well @ 1333Mhz I was using the rated timings 9-9-9-24 (as per Corsair) but it wasn't very stable as I said.
    I have since changed the FSB/RAM ratio to get 1066Mhz and it seemed much happier. (@1.5v) It would be nice to run the RAM at it's rated setting but my OC skills aren't that extensive. I imagine it would need alot of tweeking? Or could I have just relaxed the timings a bit?
    Would removing the Switch Cards make any difference?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Problem: I lost the option to get the sound from external speakers or headphones to upgrade to Lion 10.7.3. It accepts only internal speakers.  I downloaded  Combo directly. I followed all the advice from the Apple community

    Problem: I lost the option to get the sound from external speakers or headphones to upgrade to Lion 10.7.3. It accepts only internal speakers.  I downloaded  Combo directly , without using "Actualización de software". I followed all the advice from the Apple community.  Can I use bluetooth speakers to solve this problem?  My Computer: iMac. 20-inch, Early 2008. Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo.

    You may need to reset PRAM/NVRAM.
    First, check that the jack is clean. Put some alcohol on a plug and insert it a few times. See if that helps.
    is your output both digital and analog? If digital, is the red laser light visible in the socket? Do not look directly into the socket when checking.
    If all else fails try a PRAM reset:
    Reset your computer’s PRAM
    A small amount of your computer’s memory, called “parameter random-access memory” or PRAM, stores certain settings in a location that Mac OS X can access quickly. The particular settings that are stored depend on your type of Mac and the types of devices connected to it. The settings include your designated startup disk, display resolution, speaker volume, and other information.
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Immediately press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Continue holding the keys down until the computer restarts, and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    DO NOT HOLD These keys beyond the second startup sound!
    Release the keys.
    Resetting PRAM may change some system settings and preferences. Use System Preferences to restore your settings.

  • HP Pavilion g6-1d98dx has very low volume.

    Hi there, 
    I have an 
    HP Pavilion g6-1d98dx with W7 Ultimate that suddenly has very low volume. I have tried rolling back the drivers, uninstalling them and the device itself.
    I also tried that loudness equalization option, but it only makes it worse. It used to sound very good, but now it's horrible. Now I have to wear a headset just to listen to music! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Hi @Kindakool 
    I understand that you are having trouble with the sound from your built in speakers. I am happy to help you with this.
    You can start with the following page, even though you are getting some sound.
    No Sound from the Speakers (Windows 7)
    Or you can check the connections on your internal speakers for that you will need:
    HP Pavilion G6 Notebook PC - Maintenance and Service Guide
    From Microsoft's support website:
    Automatically diagnose and fix Windows audio playback problems
    If those do not work it is possible that there is a physical problem with the speakers themselves. At that point I would call in to our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region.
