Volume of speakers very low
The speakers on my laptop are extremely low despite setting all of the volume to maximum volume.
Looking at othe posts on this topic, there is a recommendation to go to the "Enhancements" tab within the sound settings but I do not have that tab available.
This is very frustrating as I am unable to use my laptop for Lync conference calls which is essential for my job.
PS: I have also set the volume setting for Lync to 100% and that hasn't made any difference.

IPhone Earphone Speaker volume suddenly got very low
Hi,
A week ago my iPhone Earphone Speaker volume get very low.I have installed to 3.0 and nothing help me out.
I think this is a hardware problem and getting to replace a Earphone Speaker.
Does anyone knows is this software or a hardware problem?
Its works fine over BT or earpiece.
I can only hear at very low volume.
Thanks,
Ivan
Message was edited by: ivammgi just did this with my moms original iPhone. before the update the volume was fine, after it got noticeablly low. i could bearly hear anything. used the sim card eject tool that came with my 3GS and poked at the speaker very lightly and noticed it got higher. i dont get how its related to the 3.0 software update but that fixed the problem for some strange reason?

Speakers very low sound despite on highest settings
Hi
All my software is up to date but suddenly a couple of days ago the speaker sound became extremely low on some youtube videos - to the point where it is virually inaudible. If I go into youtube directly the sound is fine. If I launch Youtube from gmail (using firefox), or from facebook, the sound is basically non-existent. From gmail or fb if I select to view the video in youtube, the sound is still non-existant.
After searching on here I found a thread that I followed (that I unfort can't find now but the creator was Travis):
I reset PRAM, did a safe boot, and checked/repaired permissions.
There seemed to be a lot of issues when checked/repaired permissions which is worrying.
Speakers work fine with CD,
Is there something going on with Firefox?
As I said all software is up to date.
I am not a technical person but I can follow instructions to the letter!
This computer is only 4 years old, but realistically, is it just at a point where it is 'old' and I need a new one? Or is there someway of fixing this sound?
Thanks!I presume you are talking about Built-in speakers. If you are not, please post back.
When you use gmail to launch Firefox to go to YouTube to play Videos, it is hard to decide whose soundsettings you may be dealing with.
System preferences > Sound...
... has the main sound level setting. Volume is also controlled by pressing sound-up or sound-down or Mute buttons on the keyboard.
The player you are using, such as Firefox, may have an additional setting in its Player window. If you wiggle the mouse along the bottom of the window, you may see an additional Volume control there. -
I have a current gen Mac Mini I'm using as a media center. I'm connecting it to a Viewsonic 720p LCD via VGA cable for the video, and PC-Sound In for the audio. However, I'm finding the volume, even when the Mac Mini is set to max, far too low to hear well.
As examples, with the TV volume set to 15, my cable box (connected via HDMI) is just fine and my PS3 (also via HDMI) is too loud (I need to turn the TV volume down to 10). By contrast, TV volume set to 30 can sometimes not be enough for the Mac Mini (of course it doesn't help that music and sound effects are always much louder than dialog! )
Has anyone had this problem and figured out a solution? Is there a hidden setting to go beyond the standard max volume out on the Mini? Would switching from single RCA PC-Audio out to a digital cable offer any improvement in volume?
(I have external speakers set up, but I'm trying to figure out why the Mini is literally half as loud as the cable, and a third as loud as the PS3).I have a mini connected to a TV, sound is from the mini's headphone jack to twin RCA (left and right) audio in on the TV. Sound levels are broadly the same as other sources. Given the mini outputs sufficient voltage to drive headphones, it should provide more than adequate output for a line-level input such as the one I think you're describing on your TV.
There's no hidden additional volume control - the sounds preference pane is all you have. -
BMW - Bluetooth Volume - Very Low
I currently drive a BMW 328xi with Navigation paired with an iPhone 3GS. Is anyone else experiencing low speaker volume coming through the car speakers? I've maxed out my settings, but the volume is still very low. I'm assuming that the microphone is fine, because the other party can hear me well.
If anyone has run into similar issues and has a fix, please post.
Thank you.Out of curiosity, have you used the side volume button on your iPhone to maximize the volume when the phone is in use?
The iPhone unlike other phones, remembers the volume settings per audio source so that it doesn't quite affect hearing if you want it loud in one setting and then quiet with another (which could be more powerful).
Additionally I have a 2010 Ford Fusion with Navi system (not quite a sweet as your wheels) but have read on the SYNC forums (which allow me to integrate the bluetooth phone in with the stereo like your BMW) that some of the NAVI systems tend to be quieter...
Each time when I go to use the phone for the first time in the car I still need to crank the phone volume as the car keeps putting it only to 1/4th of the stereo volume... That's the other pain that I keep encountering...
As for the other party, they can hear you fine because of the positioning of the microphone in your car... It's between the phone's volume (remembering) setting and that of your car stereo...
Hope this helps... Let us know if this helps at all! -
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

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?
cheersThanks 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. -
Hi There,
Initially when I bought my dm4-1160us, the volume was better but I don't know what happened in between, now the volume is very low. I have re-installing the driver by un-installing and also using the recovery manager but still it didn't help, can someone be of some help in here, thanks in advacePraveen,
If the Troubleshooting tips Danjen provided do not do the trick,
you might try this as a stop-gap / workaround to regain some control over the volume. It may work.
Right-Click on the Sound icon in the Task Bar (or open with Control Panel > icon view > Sound)
Open Playback Devices
Click on Speakers and Headphones (to highlight)
Click on Properties
Click on Enhancements >
Select "Loudness Equalization"
Click OK
Next,
Still in Sound > Playback Devices
Click on Communications tab
Under "When Windows detects communications activity:"
Select "Do Nothing"
Click OK
You may have to Restart / Reboot the machine for the changes to take effect.
Kind Regards,

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! -
My volume is very low when I download a movie from itunes, and my sound is turn all the way up. The volume works fine on everything else. It's really hard to even watch the movie and enjoy it. Why is this happening?
Morning Al My issue has since been resolved after some advice from a friend. It was simple, push the optical cables in firmly until they click, however mine didnt click but there was definatley room for them to be pushed in further as if they are loose they "leak". in addition to this on the TV settings, make sure that the TV speakers are turned off

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.
MichaelMichael,
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.

Hi Experts,
I bought my Inspiron laptop in January and was hoping for good sound quality based on the advertised Waves MaxxAudio. However I find the laptop volume is very low and end up holding the speakers close to my ears when doing a skype call.
Is this an issue I need to take up with warranty support or are the speaker volumes expected to be this low?Hello. Some of the models do have adequate volume and some have low volume, but it is a subjective thing and I don't know if anyone can say that your volume is normal or not without hearing it. Even then they would need to compare it with others of the same model. If you post your model name then maybe someone with that model will express an opinion.
If the volume is low only in Skype but okay when playing an audio file from the hard drive, then probably a Skype setting. Right click on the volume icon on the taskbar and click on "Open volume mixer" to see individual volume sliders for each device.
Also you could test by switching from the vendor's audio driver (varies by model but probably Realtek) to the Windows native audio driver. If the volume seems too low (when playing audio files) with both drivers then there could be a hardware problem.
1. Open the Device Manager (type devmgmt.msc in the Windows search box).
2. Expand the "Sound, video & game controllers" and right click on "Realtek High Definition Audio".
3. Select to "Update Driver Software".
4. Click on "Browse my computer for driver software".
5. Click "Let me pick from a list of drivers on my computer".
6. Put a check in the box "Show compatible hardware" if not already checked.
7. In the list of devices, click "High Definition Audio" (the native driver).
8. Click "Next".
9. On the Update Driver Warning box, click "Yes" (install the driver).
10. Restart the laptop if prompted. If not prompted, then no need to restart.
[To get back to the Realtek driver, do it again but reverse the names in steps 1 and 6.]
Note that the above instructions are for models with a Realtek audio driver. If yours uses IDT or Conexant, look for those names in the Device Manager. -

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
