| 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 |

| 546601 | 2007-05-03 10:17:00 | On most lappies the sound is limited for two reasons: 1) to conserve battery life, 2) because the speakers are so TINY that if you try to make them any louder they'd just distort. Go with the external amp and speakers idea. | supertrouper (6665) | ||
| 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? |

| 546604 | 2007-05-03 23:23:00 | I bought some little speakers that plug into the headphone socket for $15. Works nicely, they still going after about a years worth of use. |
