I Can't Turn Up The Volume
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)Posted by: tambaman03
I am using polk audio speakers that do not have a built in amplifier. I have the computer volume turned all the way up and I can barely hear the music, I downloaded winamp which helped a little but I would still like it to go louder. Is there any software that I can download that will help?
Thank you

Could you hear sound well before or using other programs, that info would help?

if you have real one player on your pc, check the volume, it has an effect on other sounds

It sounds like the volume settings have changed double click on the speaker icon and check that VOLUME CONTROL, WAVE, SW SYNTH are all set to at least 2 settings from the bottom as these all make up your overall speaker outputs

go to start>control panel>sounds and speech, and then make sure nothing is muted and set the volume so you can hear it well.

I have tried all those I know how to use the volume control on my computer and nothing is muted and all volumes are turned up. I have tried different settings with media player and winamp. I turned the amplifier button on winamp up all the way and that seemed to help, which leads me to believe that there may be some software that I could download. Does anyone know about some specific sound amplifier software that may be available?

Well my guess is, you connected them to the wrong inputs..
(Could be wrong tho?)

do not have a built in amplifier
The audio coming out of a soundcard(onboard or not) must be amplified. The level coming out of your computer is called "line-level". This is the same audio level coming out of a stand alone CD/DVD players, tape decks, etc.
No software in the world will cure your problem.
Hook your PC up to a stereo using any one of the audio inputs(except the turntable inputs). Connect speakers to the stereo.
Simple.

if u do ever manage 2 amplify the sound cumin out of ur comp, the sound quality will be shit. get sum speakers with an amplifier. easiest solution. main reason the line out is quiet is if u amplify a loud volume, the sound is shit, so itz quiet so if u amplify it itz high quality (if that makes sense)
