Elliot B. Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 I can't hear sound (Winamp, games etc.) unless I turn the speakers up full blast, and the volume control is full. Any other ideas?

null_ Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 Make sure all the external connections are secure and reinstall your sound drivers. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/260991-why-is-my-volume-so-quiet/#findComment-585151056 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elliot B. Posted December 23, 2004 Author Share Posted December 23, 2004 That is the weirdest thing... if I move the slider up and down (Master Volume) it has no effect on the volume but I noticed it sounded loud at certain bits. I moved the slider per pixel and now I have full sound unless I move it (look at the screenshot).

forster Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 Ive got this problem at the moment too, it used to be that I didnt need to turn my speakers anything past a couple of clicks, now they need to be two thirds of the way round :blink: No major upgrades to hardware / software recently, it's really beginning to bug me.

Matrix XII Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 that's very weird... when you move it to the bottom it works? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/260991-why-is-my-volume-so-quiet/#findComment-585152562 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panacik Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 This can be a number of different things. I find personally this happens over time when the wires start to get old which connect your speakers to the machine. In this case it is best to buy new speakers. The other thing is that you need to try upgraded or downgraded sound software. Also playig with the options within control panel etc. With my sound card i had real bad problems even when i set everything in the control panel sound options i would not get full sound. I found out that there was some software i ahd to install on the machine which give you extra options on the sound which Windows does not give you. It was really fiddely but i got there in the end. Sorry i cant be much more help but i am sure you have a software problems there, which may be resolved by installing any extra software which came with the NVidia sound card.

wasabi Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 theres an audio codec addon called Matrixmixer - which easily enhances the soundoutput to 500% more. problem is it can lead to sound distortion. http://matrix-mixer.sourceforge.net/ Videolan - enhances movies audio by 150% hope this helps.

gxken Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 I used matrix mixer, and it raised the volume for all my video files pretty well. But when I play mp3s using foobar, the volume is not changed. Also my bass does not work unless I raise it way high.
