speaker volume too low

[binayak]

Hi Guys,

This problem is not related to VC++ or, MFC :D
but it really is bothering me, thought someone can help me.
In my notebook the speaker volume has become too low, I hardly can hear anything. I have maximized all the volume options in the pc including the one at the system tray, but still no result. I had installed AC3 filter a few days ago, I thought it might be because of that, so I uninstalled it, but the volume is still inaudible, using an amplifier speaker I can hear a little bit. Can anybody help? BTW, I have xp home on my pc.

Are you sure that the volume knob on the notebook itself hasn't been moved towards the lower end ?

BTW - this thread probably belongs under General Discussion

I am sure

Did you try to test your sound card if there was any problem with it ?
If there is a problem, post that error message here, I think people will offer you help...

try checking the speakers...

Make sure that the Microphone setting on your Windows Volume Control is muted (i.e. the Mute check-box is checked). When this is not done, Windows (XP at least) seems to lower output volume. I had the identical problem, and this solved it for me.
