very low sound!
just been given a second comp running wix xp with sp2, the problem is with all the volume controls turned as high as they go i can only just hear the sound and that's with my ear right next to the speakers!  I've turned up every volume control i can find the ones in propities,the main volume control and the one in device manager! I've updated the drivers for the sound, i have also put in a spare hard drive with windows me installed and still there is very low sound, any ideas?

Re: very low sound!
Could be a dodgy connection. Check speaker cables are all wired properly and plugged into the corerct jacks.

Re: very low sound!
Have you tried turning up the sound in the toolbar sound controls?

Re: very low sound!
some sound cards have a line out (unamplified) jack as well as a speaker out (amplified) jack - are you using the line out with unamplified speakers, by any chance?

Re: very low sound!
Not much help this I know, but I have the exact oposite problem.
I have to have all the Windows volume controls set to about 10%, and then adjust the overall volume with the "Master Volume" control.
If any of the individual controls are more than about 10% then the sound is very loud & distorted.
Recording is even worse, have to have it set to about 2%.
I'm pretty sure it's my motherboard, tried different speakers & mics, both powered & passive. Motherboard driver/bios updates don't fix it! And yes, it's all plugged in the right sockets
Was the same on Windows 2000 & now XP Pro

Re: very low sound!
If your speakers are anything to shout about, put an amplifier in between them and the sound card.

Re: very low sound!
the sound is on board and the speakers i'm using work fine on my usual comp, the tool bar controls are set to max all at the top but still can only haer if my ear is right next to the speakers, i've just tried a set of hear phones and i can only just hear the sound with them too??
