Weak sound on your computer what to do. Here are some tips on how to increase the sound on your laptop.

Let's take a look at how you can increase the volume on your computer and laptop in Windows 10 if the volume too low is caused by both software and hardware malfunctions.

Many PC problems are related to outdated or inappropriate drivers. If your speaker or speakers suddenly started to sound quiet, and this applies to all applications and system sounds, it's time to update the drivers for your audio device.

1. Call the "Device Manager" via the Win → X menu.

2. Expand the items "Audio inputs / audio outputs" and "Sound and other devices".

3. Choose your sound device and through it context menu we call the command "Update drivers ...".

4. We indicate automatic type search and thus start scanning Microsoft servers for more new version drivers for the sound card.

An internet connection is required to download the new software.

This is the easiest option to acquire the right program but not the most reliable and loyal. The fact is that Windows 10 downloads software from Microsoft resources, and not the official sites of the developer of the driver of the corresponding device, so it will be safer and more correct to download the installer from the official resource of the audio card manufacturer, motherboard or laptop and install them manually.

Player and movies problem

If the movie starts to sound too quiet when you start the movie, the source of the problem could be both the soundtrack itself and the player. In the first case, it is possible to advise whether to acquire latest version programs for playing multimedia content and install a fresh version of codecs if external libraries are used to decode video, which is now rare.

Many people doing so-called rips (RIPs) of movies turn down the volume sound track so that during the posting of the video it is not blocked and the owners cannot even find it. The fact is that sound studios try to block illegal attempts to distribute audio, the rights to which belong to them, and by changing the sound frequency, the user makes sure that search robots do not distinguish identical content at slightly different frequencies. If the sound is the same in all players - such a soundtrack.

Incorrect volume setting

Often, beginners reduce the volume using the software method, and then wind up the speakers all the way, but they do not achieve the required volume. In situations like this, you need to do louder sound in the operating system itself, not the playback device.

1. We start playing any audio or video file in order to monitor the volume level in real time.

2. Click on the "Speakers" icon located in the tray.

3. Move the slider to the right until we achieve an acceptable volume.

Multimedia keyboards and laptops have dedicated buttons for volume control. If the sound on a laptop is too quiet, it is easy to increase it using hot keys or their combinations, for example, Fn and the left / right cursor buttons, which will save you from unnecessary clicks on the icons of various menus.

Turned up the volume, but it didn't help? We go into the volume mixer, where the sound level is adjusted for each of the programs that play audio.

1. To do this, in the context menu of the “Speakers” icon, select “Open Volume Mixer”.

2. Find the problematic application or device and adjust its sound.

Quiet sound in headphones

Devices such as headphones are made to break down as quickly as possible, but not before the warranty period expires. If the sound in the headphones suddenly becomes too quiet, first of all check them on another device (laptop, smartphone), perhaps they are out of order.

Make sure the headphones are working properly. We find the device in the Device Manager and open its "Properties". In the information, we look at their condition. If everything is in order - as in the first case, we update the drivers.

Sound management software

On Windows 10, you can install applications designed to control the system volume using hotkeys. One of them is the Sound Booster utility. Its advantage is the ability to decrease / increase the volume using user-defined hotkey combinations, which is important even for computers with a conventional keyboard.

A common culprit for audio problems can be hardware problems with the playback device.

You can increase the sound volume on your laptop using the default settings, but keep in mind that the built-in speakers are not designed to make the most of sound effects continuously. That is, it will only be possible to increase the sound using the methods below without harming the device for a while.

To increase the sound on a laptop, we find the volume icon on the taskbar in the lower right corner of the desktop. It looks like a small microphone. Hover over the icon, click once right click mouse> the context menu appears. Select the item "Configuring audio parameters", click on it. The Properties: Sounds and Audio Options window opens. Adjust the mixer volume slider to the maximum level.

Next, in the window of the same menu, switch to the "Audio" tab. Menu tabs include settings for such parameters: volume, sounds, audio, speech, equipment. The "Audio" tab contains settings for sound playback, sound recording, and MIDI playback.

Under the item "Sound playback" there will be an active "Volume" key - set it to the maximum possible value.

V different versions operating system Windows can increase the volume of the speakers built into your laptop by adjusting the same settings. Only their name and configuration can differ. The main point of increasing the sound is to maximize all volume settings on the device, as well as all mixer parameters. For example, in Windows 7, increasing the volume is done in this way:

• Right-click on the microphone icon located at the bottom of the desktop on the taskbar.
• A context menu will appear, select Playback Devices> Playback> Speakers (default device).
• Right click on Speakers> Properties. In the "Properties" window that opens, click the "Improvements" tab, put a checkmark in front of the "Equalizer".
• Below in the same window, hover the cursor over the "Settings" under the command "Properties of sound effects", a new window will open - set all the appeared parameters to the maximum. We save the set settings.

In this way, you can tune your laptop's built-in speakers for maximum sound reproduction. But these should be short-term measures to increase the volume, since in this mode the speakers cannot work for a long time, and after a while of such operation, you will inevitably notice a deterioration in sound quality. It is recommended that you purchase additional devices to increase the volume, thereby ensuring the safety of the laptop's built-in speakers.

You can increase the headphone volume using programs or built-in utilities ( engineering menu) ... Consider the options for amplifying sound in headphones on a computer (under Windows 10 and 7) and on an Android phone.

Especially often in Meizu phones and Xiaomi the sound in the headphones / speaker is not loud enough. Before answering the question of how this problem can be fixed, let's look at the reasons for its occurrence and the solutions for each of them. Let's consider them separately for PC and mobile devices.

How to increase the volume of headphones on a computer (laptop)

Before any attempts to amplify the sound of the headphones on the computer programmatically (and in any other way), it is necessary to check all standard methods of increasing the volume, it is possible that problems arose with them. Let's conditionally divide the problems and their solution into technical (or directly related to devices and their drivers) and software / system.

Reasons related to Windows OS settings

More + video:

1. Insufficient volume of sound in the system mixer is set... To do this, click on the sound icon on the taskbar and open the mixer. Make sure to set the correct volume level for the software you want (browser, player, etc.), as well as the general volume level for your device.

In Win8, open the Start page, then click on any free space right click and select "All Apps":

Then, almost at the very end, find the "Control Panel":

In Win10, in order to go to the "Control Panel" in the "Start" menu, you need to right-click on the "Start" button, then select "Control Panel":

In Control Panel, find and open Sound.

In the window that opens, go to the " Additional features”And at the bottom of the list put a check mark on“ Volume equalization ”. Click Apply.

The volume should now be an order of magnitude higher.

3. Another option for solving the problem if you do not want to mess with each time system settings, - buying new headphones with lower impedance.

4. If you need to increase the sound volume when playing specific audio / video files, you can do this using special programs such as mp3gain, SoundForge, etc. You can easily find and download them from the official sites.

5. You can also easily solve the problem with low sound by using the built-in equalizer in the player you are using. This is the standard software of all players and easily allows you to amplify the sound, regardless of the set volume level in the system. The only drawback may be in the distortion of the sound with strong amplification. But this can be easily solved by adjusting the frequency levels in the equalizer itself. ...

6. Using special programs to increase the volume level in certain programs, such as Sound Booster.
To do this, download and install the program from the developer's website.
Then run the program and set the desired volume gain level:

7. With codec settings such as K-LiteCodecPack.
In this case, when installing the codec, you will need to select as the codec in the settings ffdshow instead of the proposed LAV and MPC player.

Then view / listen to files using the selected Media Classic Player 'a. If the sound volume still does not suit you, then in the player, when playing the file, you will need to apply the ffdshow filter.
For this in the menu "Playback" , select "Filters", then select from the list ffdshow Audio Decoder.

Then in the window that opens "Properties" put a checkmark in the scroll box on the items "Volume" and Mixer and then check the box "Volume" in the main window and adjust the volume with the Master volume.

The only downside is that it only fits the MPC.

Technical reasons or reasons related to devices and their drivers

Familiarize:

1. The first most frequent the reason lies in the "loose" connector sound card , that is, in poor contact between the headphone / speaker plug and the sound card connector. Most often this happens with old sound cards.
Solution: in this case, either change / re-solder the connector (you can also programmatically reassign to the adjacent one), or figure out how to fix the plug or wire so that it does not "wobble" in the connector.

2. Another reason is lurking in problems with drivers for audio devices:

1. The drivers could well "fly off", or will not be installed correctly.
   Solution: reinstalling drivers.
2. Also, the reason may be in the drivers themselves, the so-called "developer errors". They are usually fixed in new versions of drivers with the release of updates.
   Solution: in this case, you can try to roll back the drivers to the previous correctly working version and wait for the update to be released with corrected errors. Then update them after the fixes are released.
3. Check version compatibility installed drivers with your device. It is possible that you installed the wrong driver version.
   Solution: reinstall the drivers by downloading the appropriate version from the developer's website.

How do I reinstall the drivers?

To reinstall the drivers, you must first download from the official website the version of drivers suitable for your OS compatible with your device.

After that, you need to do the following steps:

1. Open "Control Panel".

3. In the "Device Manager" open the item "Sound, game and video devices":

4. At this point, right-click on the device you need and select what you need from the drop-down list:

If you just want to update the drivers, then choose "Refresh"... If you want to completely reinstall them, then you better first. "Delete", then restart the PC and reinstall them.
After reinstalling / updating, be sure to pay attention to the presence / absence of exclamation marks next to your device in " Device Manager "... The presence of such a sign indicates the presence of errors and driver conflicts.

How to increase the volume of headphones on android

Often users of smartphones and other devices running on Android, are faced with the problem of quiet sound in the speakers, but do not know how to fix it. And this is quite simple to do. We will go from the most simple ways to more complex ones. The easiest way to amplify sound on Android is to use the engineering menu. But in new phones, it is not so easy to enter it. If you do not know how to do this on your device, then you can immediately go to the 2nd and the following ways to increase the volume through applications.

1) "Boost" the volume of the headphones on the phone

More details:

The simplest and most commonplace, but some do not know it or forget it - by adjusting the volume in the sound settings in the system itself.
To do this, go to "Settings", then select "Sound", then from the menu select "Volume" and adjust the desired volume for applications.

2) Increase the volume using the app

More details:

3) We increase the volume in the phone using the engineering menu

More details:

We increase the volume in the phone using the engineering menu. You can enter the engineering menu by dialing a number using special codes. They are different for different manufacturers, keep this in mind. However, it should also be borne in mind that part Android versions requires root rights to enter the engineering menu. These rights can be obtained different ways... The simplest one is Kingo Android Root or Framaroot apps.
Instructions for rooting a smartphone or tablet using the example of Kingo Android Root:
⦁ Download mobile version programs from the developer's site.
⦁ In the settings of your device, allow the installation of applications from third-party sources.
⦁ Install and run the program.
⦁ In the main window, click the One click Root button.
⦁ Wait until the end of the process - the device will automatically reboot.
After that, you can start entering special codes.

Here is a short list of codes for the most popular manufacturers:

After entering the engineering menu, go to the section "Audio":

You will see different settings here:

Setting values:

- Normal Mode- the settings section in normal mode, when no devices are connected to the smartphone;
- Headset Mode- headset mode, activated after connecting a headset or external speakers;
- LoudSpeaker Mode- loudspeaker mode, activated when the speakerphone is turned on during a call, when no other devices are connected to the smartphone;
- Headset_LoudSpeaker Mode- loudspeaker mode with a headset or speakers connected, when you turn on the loudspeaker;
-Speech Enhancement- the mode of talking on the phone in the normal mode of the smartphone, when no devices are connected to it (headset, external speakers) and is not turned on Speakerphone.
It is best not to change anything in the following sections.
- Debug Info- what exactly this mode is intended for is unknown, most likely information on debugging;
- Speech Logger- it is also not completely clear what it is for. If you check the box next to Enable speech log, then after the end of the conversation, the corresponding files are created in the root directory of the memory card. Their name and structure takes the following form: Wed_Jun_2014__07_02_23.vm (Wednesday_July_2014__ time 07_02_23.vm).
- Audio logger- Sound recording software that supports quick search, playback and saving.

Setting values:

-Sip- settings for internet calls;
-Mic- microphone sensitivity settings;
- Sph- settings for the spoken dynamics (the one that we apply to the ears);
-Sph2- settings for the second spoken speaker (I don't have one);
-Sid- we skip, when you change these parameters during negotiations on your smartphone or tablet, you can hear yourself instead of the interlocutor;
-Media- setting the volume level of multimedia;
- Ring- volume level adjustment incoming call;
- FMR- FM radio volume settings.

Under the item for selecting settings, you can select the volume level - from 0 to 6. Each of them has a selection range from 0 to 255.

Important!
Before making any changes, first write down the initial values ​​somewhere in case something goes wrong.

4) By editing the mixer_path.xml file

More details:

By editing the mixer_path.xml file.

This option implies that the Root user has rights that give full access to the device. We discussed how to get them in more detail in the previous method.

We also need a file manager, for example one of the following three:

• Root Browser;
• Es conductor;
• Amaze.

This option is in case the file structure differs from that considered in option 1.

Important!
It is recommended to backup the files before making any changes.

How to increase the volume on iOS devices

Many IPhone users more than once they wanted to increase the volume level of their device, but they did not succeed in doing this. And this is not so difficult to do. Below we will look at the most common and proven methods.

Option 2:

The option is more complicated. It consists in changing the settings of the configuration files - Jailbreak*. It can be done in three ways.
* operation that allows you to access the file system, analogous to getting Root rights to Android.

1 way.

Not all iPhone users know that in some European countries there is a limitation on the volume of the sound of mobile devices. Therefore, in order for our iPhone to work louder, we need to remove this restriction.

This requires:

1. Go to the root of the iPhone.
2. Then open the following directory:
   in firmware 4.x.x. - System / Library / PrivateFrameworks / Celistial.framework
   in firmware 5.x.x. - System / Library / PrivateFrameworks / Media Toolbox.framework
   in firmware 6.x.x. - System / Library / Frameworks / MediaTooblox.framework
   in firmware 7.x.x. - System / Library / Frameworks / MediaTooblox.framework
   in firmware 8.x.x. - System / Library / Frameworks / MediaTooblox.framework
3. Then open the file RegionalVolumeLimits.plist.
   Attention! If you have not found such a file on your device, it means that there are no restrictions on your device. There are restrictions only on iPhones produced in some European countries. You can find out where exactly your smartphone came from along the way "Settings" -> "General" -> "About this device" -> "Model" by the last two characters, for example -> MB496RS / A... In this case, it will be Rs.

After you figured out the country of manufacture of your iPhone, then in the file that opens, you need to find this country. After that, you need to change the value opposite this country to the desired one. The maximum value is 1.2, but there is a possibility of sound distortion. Therefore, it is recommended to set the value to 1.0. After the changes made, save everything.

Method 2.

1. Open the root folder file system iOS.
2. We go along the following paths:
   /System/Library/Frameworks/MediaToolbox.framework/Nxx/(where xx are two numbers that differ depending on the model of the device)
   /System/Library/Frameworks/MediaToolbox.framework/default
3. Both folders contain the file SystemSoundMaximumVolume.plist... In it in the tab Default you need to change the values ​​to the following:
   Default: 0.99;
   Headset: 0.8;
   LineOut: 0.8.
4. After all the changes, save everything.
   Now go to the folder / var / mobile / Library / Preferences / and find the file com.apple.celestial.plist.
   Attention! On some devices this file may also be absent, it all also depends on the country of manufacture of the device.
   If you have such a file, then in the VolumeLimits tab, you must set both values ​​to 1.2.
   We save the changes and reboot the device.

Method 3.

In this method, the files are modified using the Flex application. Below in the pictures you can see instructions on how to do this:

Option 4:

There is also a little trick for those who are not going to "hack" their smartphone - to increase the sound volume, just turn off the equalizer. The equalizer, as it turned out, does not boost any frequencies, but only reduces others in such a way that, for example, the low ones, if you wanted to raise their level, seem louder than the rest of the frequencies.

Effects

1. It should be understood that manufacturers do not just set one or another loudness threshold for their device and any excessive volume increases lead to faster wear of the speaker, and sometimes to its breakdown.
2. It is worth understanding that there are headphones playing quietly in your smartphone, then it may not be in it,. Should be or for such headphones. This applies to both the computer and the phone.
3. With regards to smartphones. As you increase the volume, you increase the power of the source. Try to listen to music at excessively high volume only through headphones (if they were previously quiet) and do not turn it on through the speaker. This usually leads to dire consequences.

Hunting headphones that amplify sound - special headphones with active noise cancellation. There are active and passive headphones, they differ in purpose. The active headphones have a built-in microphone and speaker for communicating with other shooters or hunters and a noise cancellation system that allows you to cut off sounds that annoy your hearing. Passive headphones, on the other hand, do not transmit any sounds; they are good, first of all, at shooting ranges, where there is no need for speech contact between the participants.

The reason that the sound on the laptop has become quieter can be both software and hardware problems. Most often, updating sound card drivers helps, but in severe cases, you have to change the sound card.

Volume setting

If the sound on the laptop has become very quiet, then the first thing to do is to check the volume. Left-click on the speaker icon in the system tray. Make sure the slider is at the very top, that is, the volume is set to maximum.

If the sound becomes quieter in a specific application (such as a browser), right-click on the speaker icon and open the volume mixer. Set the sliders to their maximum level.

You should also check the properties of the playback device. Right-click on the speaker and go to the section of the same name. Highlight the hardware you are using to play audio and click Properties.

Go to the "Levels" section and make sure the slider is set to its maximum value. There is also a "Balance" button that allows you to distribute the sound between several speakers if you use external speakers on your laptop.

To improve the sound, it is recommended to go to the Advanced Features tab and enable some effects. When adjusting effects, you should rely on your own perception of the sound, so to select optimal parameters will have to experiment a little.

Checking and updating drivers

If adjusting the volume on your laptop does not solve the problem and the playback device is still very quiet, then check your sound card drivers. Microsoft Support recommends uninstalling and reinstalling the sound card software, or simply updating it. Drivers should be downloaded from the official website of the laptop manufacturer for a specific model. It is important to correctly specify the version and bitness of the system, otherwise after installation there may be compatibility problems.

If you downloaded the drivers from the manufacturer's website, then you can easily determine which device you need to select in the manager. If you decide to update your drivers from automatic search, you will have to do this for all devices presented, if you do not know the model of the sound card.

How to update drivers on a laptop:

You can try to install software sound card with using DriverPack Solution. A universal driver will be installed from the driver pack, but even it, in some cases, helps to solve the problem with the sound on the laptop.

Working with programs

If you have a Realtek sound card, a separate audio driver control program must be installed on your laptop. You can find it in the "Hardware and Sound" section of the control panel under the name "Realtek HD Manager". The manager integrates all Realtek audio drivers, so if the sound becomes quiet, then through this utility you can increase its volume.

To ensure that the sound in Realtek Manager is set up properly, look at options such as Master Volume, Surround Sound, Full Range Speakers. Try changing the settings to find out why it is getting quieter or louder.

Try installing Sound Booster, a sound management software. According to the developers, the program increases the volume by 500% in browsers, media players and applications for communication such as Skype. Basically, Sound Booster copies the functions of the built-in Windows tool but for some users this utility has really helped to increase the volume while maintaining the sound quality.

If the sound becomes quieter when playing a movie or music, then you need to check the volume settings in the media player. Remember that audio or video recordings may be initially quiet, so the laptop's sound card may not be to blame. What to do in such a situation? Download a movie or song in normal quality or try to improve the sound using the equalizer of the media player.

If we are talking about the sound of a movie, then you need to make sure that the laptop has codecs that allow you to correctly play this video format. If there are no problems with AVI playback even with the built-in Windows player then for MKV format requires a special player or additional codecs, otherwise you may encounter some problems.

Hardware problems

Unfortunately, the reasons why the sound of the notebook becomes uncomfortably quiet are not limited to software problems. In some cases, the user cannot fix anything on his own, because the origins of the failure are in the hardware of the computer. This could be damage to your speakers or sound card and can only be repaired by replacing the hardware.

It is not recommended to make a replacement on your own, because the laptop has too many fragile cables and clips that can be accidentally broken when trying to open the case. Therefore, if no program methods solutions to sound problems do not help, why not immediately contact a service center?

If the sound becomes quiet only when played through external speakers or headphones, then the cause of this may also be damage to the audio jack. But before contacting specialists, make sure that the headphones and speakers work normally on other devices.

There is only one difference between a laptop and a regular PC: you can increase the sound on a laptop using a special keyboard shortcut. This is usually the left and right arrow + Fn. After each reboot, you have to amplify again, because the sound has become quieter. Simply put, these settings are temporary, which is not very convenient and you need to constantly increase the volume on a laptop with Windows 10.

A special window is used to control the audio parameter. In addition, most of the users downloaded the RealTek driver, which adds more features. For example, if there is support from the card, you can put more speakers (the so-called Sound around). But for the most part mobile devices give out the usual stereo - right and left channels. For this reason, setting up a laptop is no different from a desktop PC.

Column check

The authors know at least one case when they had to laugh. I was very surprised by the too quiet sound on laptop Acer... Even through the settings, it was set to the maximum, and both sides set it - nothing helped. At the same time, hearing through the headset was normal. It turned out that the speakers were covered with shipping tape. They took it off - and everything was in place: the quiet sound on the laptop turned into unnecessarily loud.

Thus, the first tip: find a general description of the machine in the instructions, see exactly where the speakers are. This is not an obvious point. They can be located both on the tabletop and on the display. Check if there is a film.

This problem is typical for small netbooks.

Sound adjustment

Many readers will ask: what will happen if the balance of one of the speakers is raised higher (up to 100), and the overall sound is left at 50? The overall sound will also change automatically. Up to 100.

Note! If it is difficult to set the balance with the mouse, use the arrow keys to the right and left.

Sound check

In the same snap, go to the Advanced tab and click test to hear the sound effect from both speakers. The call will appear first on the left channel and then on the right.

Easy slider adjustment

Readers have already understood why we immediately went into the settings - to see the balance at the same time. But the fastest way to adjust the sound is by left-clicking on the speaker in the tray. Set the level as required. If it is inconvenient to drag the slider with the mouse, and fine tuning is required, use the arrow keys: right and left arrows.

RealTek driver

To get access to advanced features, you need to install the RealTek driver. Without it, the same hardware as shown above in rigs will look like the screenshot below.

We will download it from the site realtek.com.tw. Whoever is not with us, let him not complain later. The size of the driver is usually more than 300MB, so make sure you have enough space.

In truth, the installation takes a long time and requires at least 1.5 GB of system disk space (to unpack the archive).

In addition, the PC will be restarted several times.

Upon completion of this procedure, the picture will change radically. The PC now sees all the audio input and output ports.

What changed

You see that after Windows updates 10 nothing has changed in the sound industry of the OS. However, a lot depends on the power of the speakers. The larger it is, the greater the increase in volume. How to view? Power can be labeled in two different ways.
