T61 has a very low max volume

I'm running a T61 with Win XP SP3 and the max volume with all the cursors is very soft.  Any way to improve this in addition to the external speakers or a headset?

Found another way around this problem.  There are packages out there aftermarket software that allow you to increase the rate of 'gain' of your audio output.  I had one as a snap for Windows Media Player and now I can push the volume levels to a more acceptable level.  You negotiate a clarity to the increase in the volume, but the quality on the stock speakers has never been great even when.  I'll find the package and post a link to the download freeware page.

  • Satellite A100 - very low speaker volume

    Hello

    Recently, the volume of my speaker has been very low - barely audible.
    The speakers are Realtek High definition.

    The volume is set at 100%. I checked the properties of reading, recording and sounds and they all work very well.
    The problem occurs if I play CDs, videos online or applications such as RealPlayer - anything really.

    Any advice would be much appreciated.

    Thank you

    Gary

    Hello

    I guess you are which means that the sound card (it s Realtek High definition) and not speakers ;)
    However, have you checked the settings in the control panel-> Manager Realtek HD?

    Do it! There are a lot of different parameters that control the quality of the sound and there you can assign different audio effects

    I think you should check this certainly!

    Oh dear.  It turned into a terrible mess of a thread with opinions and advice.    You do your layout with Word.  In my experience, Word is a nightmare when it comes to positioning many areas of text and images.

    You shouldn't have changed the Word document in a JPG file, because the text all which perfectly progressive, which would be printed to "all" size without loss of image quality, then became an image file.  But if you "had" to make it a JPG, just about the worst possible way to do this is with the Snipping Tool, because the resulting image would have only the resolution of your computer screen.  Dows following?

    How big are the pictures you used in Word?  They probably didn't need to be very large, because each image is only an impression at a relatively small size.

    First thing to try is to open the Word Document and save in PDF format using the Standard option (after you select Save as PDF

    It will keep the text in the form of scalable vector objects which allows printing at any size.  However, I don't have the knowledge of how Word uses images.  I just did a little test, and while I could zoom in to see in the text, I'm not sure that the same is true of the images.  Depends on word refers to the image of the player, or he brings as an object of frame size, and I suspect it's the latter.  You need to do some research on it, because it might make you save a lot of time.

    You have Publisher?  Editor certainly reference the drive images, and friezer downsize to fit the page.  I suspect that you can import a Word into Publisher document, which would put you best part of the way with it.  I would like to test it, but I use it as a loyal user of Adobe InDesign.   If you are forced to restart, then editor or InDesign would be lot better, but it's doable with Photohop.  Just make sure that you start with enough pixels, which means 36 inches at 300 dpi or 10 000 square pixels.  When did save as PDF using the preset high quality printing, and ask your color printer (probably just use sRGB)

    Good luck

  • Very low speaking volume - Dell Inspiron

    Hello, I bought 2 notebooks of Dell Inspiron 3542 in January

    The internal speaker on each volume is very low as a whisper, even at 100%.

    The drivers are up to date.

    Looking for ideas on how to increase the volume.

    Thank you very much.

    Dear Sujatha, k.

    Thank you very much for your suggestions continue, but I spent hours to set up two laptops in the way that I need them and hours more, to try to resolve the issue of the speaker, namely extremely low volume even in the setting of 100 percent.  I don't want to just go back to factory default, or risk losing data or settings to devote more time to it.  Unfortunately, I'll live with the present situation.  I really appreciate any suggestions.  I conclude that it is a design problem.  Larry

  • Tecra M11 - very low audio volume

    I have a Tecra M11 for a few months and I am overall very happy with my new laptop.

    A question I have is the speaker volume level. When I play the video or the sound of music is about audible, even with the speakers lining and the relevant channels appeared in the volume mixer in Windows 7.

    When I open volume mixer I see that the speaker volume is at max, where is the application that plays music. I can't bar which moves vertically to show the level of the sound playback, a green one, and it does not go beyond 25% of the full bar.

    Everyone experienced, or got any advice on how I can get my speakers a little harder?

  • My laptop volume is very low, even with the maximum setting. It also has a very annoying echo

    I tried every setting available on this laptop, go all together if not try several changes in all settings. The volume is still low and has a very annoying reverberation and echo effect, even with these settings turned off. I got it for a week, and I was very happy with any other accept the audio. The reasons for buying this model were media processing and so far I have and become more disgusted daily with her. It is a Pavilion dv6 and it has beat audio software. If anyone has a solution, it would be much appreciated.

    Hello

    One thing that can help is the following.  Do a right-click the speaker icon in the taskbar and select "playback devices".  Left click the device once to highlight default (it is usually 'speakers and headphones') and then click the properties button.  Click the enhancements tab and put a check mark in the box "Loudness equalization.  Click on apply to save the changes and then click OK in all other windows and see if allowed at all.

  • Tecra A3 has very low volume

    Hi all, I bought a used Tecra A3. With Win XP Professional, service pack 3. I have not all records with him.
    It was working well before a week or two ago. It has very low volume, I have all levels of volume and the maximum wave. The manual volume knob on the front has no effect, it used to work
    I think the problem started when I downloaded youtube FLV files, then I downloaded a program ('super' was the name of the program) to convert the FLV files into AVI files.
    I uninstalled the program of conversion, I failed to convert anything. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the driver of sound card - card his Realtech AC97. I uninstalled and reinstalled WMP11. None of this has helped.

    On this view, I saw how to do a system restore. I thought to perform the system recovery can solve the problem.
    My question is, if I perform the system recovery, to the GET to the elimination of the parameters of the box, it will clear the WIN XP operating system?

    Thanks for any assistance received, Darren.

    Hello Darren

    Please do not be angry on me, but make you it so complicated. Let's be clear on this:

    Saved on DVD of recovery recovery image contains the operating system, all necessary drivers, Toshiba tools and utilities and some additional applications such as a DVD player. So if you want to install the OS by using Toshiba recovery media will be deleted all content saved on the HDD, formatted partitions and lately OS will be installed. When all is finished you will have clean operating system preinstalled. It will be the same State as the first day after the default purchase.

    Then I don't understand what you mean now with the restore process. During the installation of recovery is complete you must not install or configure anything. Just boot OS, install your favorite software, install the Microsoft updates and be happy.

    If you have any other questions please post again, but please if you ask something to be clear and precise.

    Control Panel - SOUNDS - Audio peripheral devices configuration-manager

    Make sure you write down the description and model double click top - tab drivers - write version. Now
    Click on update drivers who cannot do anything like MS is far behind the certification of drivers. Then RIGHT
    CLICK above and UNINSTALL - REBOOT - this will rebuild the driver stack.

    If your driver shows 06 you have the default windows and part of the question.

    Go to the system manufacturer's website and get the latest Audio/Sound drivers - download - SAVE - go to the place where you
    Put them - right click on Reboot - RUN AS ADMIN -.

    Check the Version on the tab of the driver in the device as a sound Manager often restoring drivers, then install
    the current version. Restart and check after each try, not uncommon to have to run the pilot of 1 to 4 times or more.
    Just make sure that the version you have installed appears in the tab of the driver.

    Then navigate to the site of the manufacturer of the device and search for the drivers more recent and repeat the installation procedure.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  • Very low volume on Portege R500

    The volume on my R500 (R500 - 11 c to be exact) is ridiculously low. Only with the volume at maximum (100) and using headphones I hear nothing, and even in this case, it is far too low to be useful. I can just do the test sounds to the left and then good listener when using his test detected in Control Panel-> Sound-> speakers (there no helmet to choose)-> Properties-> Advanced-> test. Unplug the headphones I hear nothing in the speakers, because of the (very low) sounds made by the fan and HARD drive. Play music (with headphones) I can just do the sounds are produced, but I can't even on what is happening.

    I tried the things mentioned in the "Satellite 5105-S901 sound is very low (even at max volume) to aid driver Toshiba ' thread without success (including the Loudness equalization).

    I am running Vista Business 32 bit and have tried the driver_audio_realtek26117B.exe, driver_audio_realtek_TC00157600B.exe and Vista_Win7_R243_x86.exe the driver files and also used the util_mute_off_25847B.exe utility.

    Enabling silent makes the already weak sounds go completely silent, so I don't think it's a matter of mute.

    Jack detection works, I can see that in the Realtek HD Audio Manager program. Using sound test of this program (Configuration of the speakers) I have to go to a completely silent, and even in this case I can't hear something on the right headphone. (I think, it's darn so low, that I could imagine I hear.)

    Decreasing the volume slider sound 100 harder almost inaudible noise similarly points out, and around 45 it is more audible even in a quiet room with headphones.

    So it seems that I somehow need to reset the audio chip in a 'normal' level Or it is broken and does not display anything more audible.

    Does anyone have ideas, what I can try next? I can boot XP or Linux, if anyone has any ideas on how to get her here, just to start. (They are silent as well, I did not like extensive tests under those as Vista).

    Hello

    According to your message, you have tried to increase the volume by using all possible options
    Have you tried to increase the volume in Control Panel-> Realtek HD audio manager?
    Check this box

    You also tried to update the Realtek audio driver.
    Did you use the Realtek page directly?
    Check it!

    If this will not help, you might try the laptop with the new system recovered

    But if this does not improve the volume, then this could be a hardware problem

  • incoming ring and text very low volume!

    Hi, recently noticed that when I lower the volume level for music, games, video and other media, it also reduces my ringtone and notification volume level too! (even if the level of the slider bar is on max for ringtones, notifications). so if for example I that video down on youtube etc, it takes my volume of text and call down too! This allows to happen and only noticed when I saw led missed call, text, flashing.try your own z3c?

    settings-

    Sound-

    volumes-

    music, video, etc. (bottom)-

    Ringtone & notification (max)

    Ok.

    Are now looking for incoming call, volume of text (very low on mine) so I have to reset the music, video, games, etc to max to hear incoming calls, texts, but I don't want to max volume for music, video.

    BTW, I'm still on kitkat 4.4.4 but like I said volume levels could be addressed individually for unpacking.

    now strange is my companion has MS xperia and I checked her yesterday and it had the same problem (jellybean) and because its volume level on the video, games etc is low, but max on ringtone, text lacks too calls and texts! (unless of course he puts in maximum volume on video games). also using volume on the side of the phone has no effect either.

    any ideas?

    Cheers.

    just stumbled on this comment on another issue and realized that even if was weak on the preview, it was ok on the actual volume of text and incoming call! so happy again!

  • Volume of the voice channel Windows 7 very low, all levels of thin volume.

    Hello

    I have problems with a recent installation of Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit.

    Problem:
    All the sounds of voice work, but they have a very low volume. I tend to have to reduce all the other audio almost minimum, then come out the volume of the voice, the speaker volume and mixer Volume volume even hear max.

    This is true in games, both running in and out of the compatibility mode. This also applies to Windows Media Player videos and games in the browser and video in Firefox. It's even true in the unit.

    Tried solutions:
    On other forums, similar problems of some other people:
    -a suggested that I have turn off the cancellation of the vote under Kaeroke in sound effect Manager, it is already disabled.
    -a suggested that I put CP > Sound > Communications tab > in the 'status quo', no effect.
    -tried reinstalling the drivers, once again, no effect.
    -A forum suggested to another with the same question that he installed 64-bit windows 7, is not viable as 64-bit installs (despite the fact that I'm on Ubuntu 64-bit.)

    History:
    Previously, in windows XP SP3 it worked well, as it does now on Ubuntu 9.04 (Dual Boot)
    The change seems to have occurred at the same time that the installation of Windows 7.

    System:

    Please let me know if you need additional information or have any suggestions on how to solve this problem, it is quite frustrating.

    Thank you for your time.

    There has been no updated drivers since, however... I don't know how it works, but somehow update on the side of my computer of 9.04 ubuntu 9.10 seems to have fixed...

    No idea how it worked, I have made no other changes to system register windows virus definition facilities.

    Weird.

    Anyway,.
