Toshiba Satelite M35X-S349 Low Volume Level

danandyu · 01-17-2009, 01:13 PM

Hello,

My Satellite M35X-S349 volume level is not very loud with the sound turned all the way up (speakers or headphones). Its like the volume only goes up to say 6 instead of 11. ;-) You can hear it but it is on the edge of not being loud enough, especially if there is any background noise in the room.

I checked for new sound drives and there were none. I went into control panel in the sounds section and made sure every slider I could find was at max volume.

It seems like I figured this out once before but I can't remember, I haven't used this computer for a while.

Thanks

Have you tried uninstalling/reinstalling sound drivers?

Yes, just did, same. I think I fixed this once a couple years ago but I can't remember how. It was a setting I believe but again i can't remember what.

It has Realtek 97 Audio btw.

Check Audio Properties (right click on speaker icon on taskbar)... go through each tab (i.e. Volume tab, Voice tab, etc.) and make adjustments as needed.
