Low Volume

Molly1173 · 11-03-2006, 06:42 AM

I haven't looked at it myself yet...but a friend of mine installed a soundcard yesterday & he says even with the settings all on high, the volume is extremely low. Any help?

Not enough info here to give you an answer. We will need to know the make and model of the computer and sound card for starters.
Have you tried it with headphones? This would tell you if it is a speaker problem or not.

Not sure of much, I'll get the info from him. I know the computer is a Dell, but that's about it.

make sure he has the volume all the way down, then slowly increase with the headphones plugged in. protect your ears!

Also, I seem to remember having a similar problem a while ago. The problem was I had accidently plugged the speakers into the rear or surround speaker jack.. so..make sure all the connections are correct.
