Volume output way to soft..Any work arounds?

Hi all...ive tried doing a search on this subject but couldnt find any solutions...I have noticed that the sound output for my laptop is way too soft for my liking...I went into the sound properties and have disabled all enhancements as I have noticed with the enhanements on the volume constantly fluctuates (too too sure why but it does)...When my lap top isnt plugged into external speakers I can barely even play games on it because I really cant hear anything..maybe im going deaf but even my POS 4 year ol Hp puts out louder sounds than our Qosmios...For sure the Harmon Kardons can take more than whats being thrown at it so if any one has any suggestions on how to achieve this please do let me know...Someone suggest SX Fidelity Amplifier but for the full version it costs money...Im looking for a preferably free way to work around this issue...Thanks!

If your laptop uses the Realtek HD Audio drivers than chances are the driver is not configured property. These directions are for Windows 7, other operating systems may require a slightly different set of steps. 
First, either download and install the latest Toshiba audio drivers for your laptop via the Toshiba Support web site, or download and install the latest Realtek HD Audio drivers from the Realtek website.
Second, once the audio drivers have been updated, enable "Loudness Equalization" on either the Start --> Control Panel --> Hardware and Sound --> Realtek HD Audio Manager --> Sound Effects tab, then click OK to save the setting change. Or on the Start --> Control Panel --> Hardware and Sound --> Sound --> Speaker Properties (select Speakers then the Properties button) --> Enhancements tab, scroll down the list of sound effects to enable "Loudness Equalization" then select the OK button to save the setting changes.
Once the Realtek drivers have been updated and the "Loudness Equalization" has been enabled the system sound audio level is much louder, however the DVD and Audio CD audio levels might continue to be low for some users. Some find that setting the Equalizer, found under the Realtek HD Audio Manager Sound Effects tab or on the Speaker Enhancement tab, to "Powerful" seems to help with the sound levels.

  • Any work around ideas for getting more room on my mac air

    Hi.  I have an older mac air which really has minimal room left on it.  I am going to a photo workshop and would like to be able to upload and edit my images on it but know after 1 day of shooting in raw I will max out the computer.  Is there a way to do a work around with an external?  I edit with lightroom and will likely shoot at least 2500 images at 25 mpx each, thats alot of data. There is nothing I can remove on the air to free up space.
    Any suggestions are appreciated.
    Julien

    Thank you all.  Sounds like i might as well buy a new (mac OS supported) external hard drive.  Not worth the hassle/risk of taking all the old files off my current external HD. 
    Really appreciate all your help!

  • Any work-around for non-Lion-supported HP LaserJet printer?

    I just upgraded to Lion, and while love many of the features (the new mail app is great), I just discovered that my 6-month-old HP LaserJet CP1525nw printer apparently isn't compatible with Lion. Does anyone have any work-arounds for generic drivers that might resolve this. As inexpensive as Lion is, I'd hate to have to buy a new printer just so I can take advantage of Lion funcationality and full iCloud capabilities. Thanks.

    In preparing to install the drivers for the CP1510 series, I decided to download and reinstall the package for the CP1520 series. First, I also installed the firmware update, which had been released since I purchased my printer. Then I reinstalled the drivers using System Preferences, etc.
    Lo and behold, the printer now works. For some reason, after the upgrade to Lion, the drivers for my CP1525nw stopped working, even though all of my other printers (1610, 2510, 2610, 2605dn)  performed just fine without any jiggering after the Lion upgrade.
    Curiously, my first attempt to download the software package for the CP1525nw wouldn't download, launching a dialog that says the driver isn't supported for this operating system. The HP website does not include the CP1525nw in the list of supported LaserJets, but elsewhere paradoxically claims all printers supported for Snow Leopard should also run on Lion, which appears to be true for the CP1525nw.
    Go figure. Anyway, thanks for the suggestion. It got me headed in the right direction.

  • The App Store asks to "verify" my personal information, For my name, state, credit card, etc. I don't even live in the US and I don't have a CC, nor do I want to give away my personal information. I just want to download free apps. Any work-arounds?

    Title says it all.
    I'm really getting sick of websites getting more and more into your business. Google forcing you to get a G+ account and asking for your identifying information, for example (like your phone number).
    It's extremely irritating, and I'm opting out of everything that enforces the such. If Apple begins pushing like this, I will just close my relationship with the company and obtain apps by using third-party software to force them onto the phone.
    But before going that far, I'd like to find work arounds.
    First of all, I don't even know why it asks me for my "state". I don't even live in the USA anymore, as I moved to China (though I won't use the Chinese store as I don't speak or understand the local language, which is Chinese).
    All I want... is to continue using the English App Store to get free apps from here in my home in China, without getting stopped by Apple asking for more info on me. I don't want to share my name, I don't want to share my address, and I can't even complete the form as I no longer have a "state" and don't have any credit info.
    So that's just that. If there's no way around it I'll find another way to install apps without the App Store.
    Sorry for the message tone, I'm just really irritated with the way the internet is getting.
    Thanks in advance!

    The living issue is complex in my case. Legally speaking, I have no personal residence globally. I just live wherever my father goes, which is everywhere. I'm an expat and it seems that these sites aren't really expat-friendly. They seem to be built for localization and assume everyone stays in the same place.
    I don't know what I'd be considered. I'm a US passport holder and live in China, but I only speak some Chinese and I can't read it (it using non-latin characters is just too much for my mind's memory to handle). Besides that, I'm not interested in popular Chinese apps. They tend to just be annoying and kooky and generic and put together badly, often full adware and spyware (speaking for most Chinese software, in fact). In fact, a lot of apps I want are illegal in China (YouTube, Facebook, etc) and I use a VPN to use the services. I assume I wouldn't find these apps on the Chinese store. In fact, last I checked, there wasn't many English apps on the Chinese app store. This is probably due to their strict moderation or something.
    I've been going to international schools since I got here and college would be in English too. I can speak some Chinese, but not read it.
    Well, I guess the answer is that I can't use the App Store in English. So I guess I'll just sign out everything on my phone involving my Apple account and just start using third-party tools to do my business.

  • Any work around ideas to get Shake to work with Yosemite?

    There is a way to do this.
    But it works or not, I have no idea.

    Safari > Preference > Advanced
    Checkmark the box for "Show Develop menu in menu bar".

  • After loading Lion 10.7 I'm no longer able to use Quicken 07. Any work around?

    After loading Lion 10.7 to my Desk Top, I'm no longer able to use my Quicken 07. Is there a work around? All my financial records are in Quicken 07 or do I need to remove Lion 10.7 from my computer

    Quicken is a PPC application. They will not work in Lion because Lion no longer supports Rosetta emulation.
    1. You can downgrade to Snow Leopard.
    2. You can switch to Quicken Essentials.
    3. You can purchase a different application that provides similar services for you. Examples are MoneyDance or MYOB.
    Downgrade Lion to Snow Leopard
    1.  Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
    This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard. I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.

  • When I share a garageband file to itunes the volume is way too soft.

    I don't know what I did. Suddenly everything I export to iTunes comes out way too soft compared to files I have exported before. My master volume seems to be set right, it plays loud enough in GB, my export settings are set to Auto Normalize, compression is on, my volume in iTunes is turned up - I'm at a loss here. Please help!

  • 25025 Error when upgrading Any work arounds

    When we upgraded a system from 6u29 to 7u4 and then 7u5, Windows 7 32bit Service Pack 1, the particular system ended up having a non usable Java Stack.
    Perform repeated upgrades form 6u28 to 6u31 to 7u4 and then 7u5. Observe the Windows Control Panel In this case the Programs section indicates that there is no Java installed, Java FX2.1 is installed.
    At this point the user cannot uninstall java to install it. Restarting the computer doesn't clear up the issue.
    Are there any utilities to analyze or repari broken Java Installs?
    We are aware of the release notes on 7u5 that indicate there was an issue updating from 6. There are several issues with the work around and the impact on our user community. Is this the correct place to discuss this. If not, is there an install forum for these types of disucssion.

    Specificaly it says:
    The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. this device is not eligible for the requested build.

    I had this problem as well. I was under the gun on time and just purchased it anyway. After installation I contacted support and they refunded me the amount.
    You should have a backup of your servers regardless of circumstances. You would then be able to restore the server software.
    When Apple repair machines they will often just swap it or swap the hard disk and will not make any effort to transfer your files. They assume you are doing a backup. Anybody running servers absolutely has a responsibility to ensure they have aduequate backups even more than 'normal' users. While Time Machine may not be wholely suitable for backing up servers Time Machine is so simple even normal users can use it and therefore no longer have any excuse for not doing backups.

  • Can't get iPad2 iMovie to post director-length to YouTube. Any work around?

    I have permissions on YouTube to publish videos of any length but iMovie doesn't know this, won't allow me to reset permission lengths in the app and stops me from posting anything longer than 10 min I believe--the former standard length limitation. I'm using the iPad2 to shoot, edit and post my videos and want it to be full-length, not segments. I've seen this issue show up continually on these boards. Do the developers every pay attention? Seems like a very easy fix. And, has anyone found a better work-around than having to export and upload via browser?
    BTW, if developers are listening, here's one other handy game-changer: what if you could pinch-zoom into the editing controls so that you can get better precision than >.02 second increments in video/sound editing. Right now the grabbers are as imprecise as my fat fingers.
    Looking forward to any help you can offer. Best, silva
