546597 2007-05-03 05:36:00 Hi, can anyone help me with this problem. I have a friend who needs to increase the vloume level of sound coming out of his laptop (which is already at maximum volume in the settings).

Does anyone know of some software that can amp laptop volume levels? It is an HP NX6125 running Windows XP Pro with the latest sound drivers for this model installed.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

546598 2007-05-03 05:39:00 How about plugging into an external amplifier attached to decent speakers?
since laptops are not famous for their high audio output.

546602 2007-05-03 11:22:00 Depends on what situation he wants to boost sound. Which program requires it? windows media or power dvd or something else? Mamaz (10231)
546603 2007-05-03 23:16:00 I find this interesting because ...........

I have reasonable sound from my PC when using XP. I do not need to enhance it with external speakers.

However, with Vista it's another story. The sound is so low that I do need external speakers even though the slide control in Vista is set to its highest.

Anyone got any ideas to be able to at least get a similar volume on Vita as to XP?

Works nicely, they still going after about a years worth of use.

Same problem with me too. Have reverted to headphones to try and hear better.

ANSWER 1: Buy a hearing aid .
ANSWER 2: Sit closer to the speakers .
ANSWER 3: Buy a Bose stereo and plug it in .
ANSWER 4: Turn off the wife .

The last one is very difficult but not impossible, it can be quite expensive .
