Saedeas Distinguished. Mar 17, 1 0 18, 0. I recently bought a new system for gaming and I haven't gotten new speakers for it yet. So I decided to use my old emachines speakers, but they were ridiculously quiet in Vista even with volume maxed in control panel and the latest drivers from both realtek and the latest default driver. Kept trying to figure out a fix for this problem, and it turns out all you have to do is switch the type of output it is in the realtek audio manager from speaker out to headphone out.
It about doubles the volume. Just sharing this experience in case anyone else is having any serious trouble with volume in vista. Junior17 Distinguished. Apr 24, 1 0 18, 0. Vista Home Premium here as well, and low audio issues too. I can't figure out how to do this tweak you mention. Can you give me a step by step on how to do this? Guest Guest. I've been having problems with low audio in Vista too - just worked out that the volume in Realtek Sound Manager had reset itself somehow, though in WMP and the Sound Mixer the volume was at top level.
It does that quite regularly for some reason. I'm glad I found the solution, thought I was losing my hearing! Nov 16, 71 0 18, 0. There must be something wrong with this driver, normally headphone output signal is just the attenuated line signal, so it should be quieter from that meant for speakers.
Could you tell me how to do that on windows 7?? Dec 23, 1 0 18, 0. Good Evening. Hope this helps you and anyone else who is having issues. Dec 24, 1 0 18, 0. Hinanan Distinguished. Mar 3, 1 0 18, 0. My problem seems a bit more complicated. When I test my speakers, the tests are quite loud. Most Windows sounds are reasonably loud although quieter than I would expect with my speakers turned all the way up , while things like movies are so quiet that even with the volume in WMP AND the speakers turned all the way up, I can only make out what people are saying in a movie if my ear is RIGHT by the speakers.
These are internal speakers on a laptop, though I can only assume the speakers themselves are fine if Windows sounds and webpage ads are loud while most media sounds are barely even there. Any advice? Mar 28, 1 0 18, 0. I have the exact same problem as you. I can get the volume quite loud in VLC media player, but for example audio via webpages youtube etc are terribly quiet. I can get full volume on the test sounds, but no luck on the same for watching movies etc.
Any solutions? Thanks everyone who helps out Apr 17, 1 0 18, 0. I also have low sound in movies, etc. It helped to change environment in realtek sound manager first tab to something else, for example room. It badly worsenes sound quality, but at least one can understand people talking I am still searching for a true solution and will post as soon as I find something. Sep 18, 0 19, Movies are very quiet in general. The real culprit is the lack of output your speakers are capable of.
All you are doing is overdriving your amplifiers by boosting the output voltage and driving it closer to clipping and shortening the lifespan of both your speakers and your amplifier. Optimal sound playback comes from lower voltage input with amplifiers capable high ampere output. You can feed speakers more clean wattage by boosting amperes. Boosting voltage can overheat the voice coils in your speakers and is not safe for long-term playback.
The actual culprit are your speakers and not Windows. Mar 26, 1 0 18, 0. I had the same problem. I read the entire thread. I have an emachines ET from Still, no luck with the volume.
Then I realized that it was my old speakers that were the problem. You see, I was using my old passive i. The eMachines desktop that I just bought does not supply enough juice to these old speakers as my HP used to provide.
To test the hypothesis out, I went and bought a pair of active speakers and voila! To think that the eMachines customer service rep had recommeded that I perform a system restore to see if the problem would be fixed I am sure these guys in India don't give a crap about how labor-intensive that step would potentially entail.
I hope this tip will help others. Apr 22, 1 0 18, 0. MEgamer Distinguished. Dec 19, 0 18, OZZlE Distinguished. Sep 20, 1 0 18, 0. Saedeas :. May 3, 1 0 18, 0. I have tried looking at the different advanced settings, and I can't find anything helpful.
The previous owner said that he completely cleared the hard drive, and said nothing about any sound problems. I don't know if this is because of something that happened to it while the previous owner had it, because it is just old, or if it's something I can't see yet. I am hoping someone can help me with this, because I am still a student and I enjoy my music and videos very much.
I would really appreciate any help or suggestions that anybody can give me! Step 1: Please see the following article with some helpful information regarding your issue:. Step 2: Update the Sound card driver.
