Need to turn up the volume
I can't get my volume level up over about 25% even thought all the sliding
controls are 100% up and nothing is muted.I have a SIS onboard sound. If I plug it into another computer, the speakers are fine. |

If I plug it into another computer, the speakers are fine. Can't get the volume over 25%? What is 25%? How do you know that it's 25%? Do you have some kind of manual control connected to your speakers? Why can't you go over that (what happens if you do). Try to elaborate on your problem. -- MiniDisc_2k2 To reply, replace nospam.com with cox dot net. |

I agree completely. Either you should get some speakers that have an
amplifier (i.e. powered speakers) or get an amplifier that can be attached to the cord. I'm not quite sure where to find the second, but I know that they exist. -- MiniDisc_2k2 To reply, replace nospam.com with cox dot net. P.S. If you're going to buy new powered speakers, I would suggest the Creative Inspire 4.1. I have them, and they have very good quality for their price. Of course, you'd need a 4.1 compatible sound output thingy (sound card or onboard sound, I couldn't find the right work to include them both). Most onboard sound nowadays can support 4.1, refer to your motherboard's manual. If you need to get a sound card, I'd recommend the Creative SoundBlaster PCI 512. Again good quality for good price.

It's just doesn't put out the volume like it should Most onboard sound doesn't come pre-amplified therefore you need powered speakers to get sufficient sound output. I would suggest you dont use the onboard sound but instead install a pci soundcard, they are very cheap these days. -- regards, Steve "The greatest of all faults is to be conscious of none" remove NOSPAM for reply |

I have several sound cards that I'm sure will work. Do I need to disable the
sound in the BIOS? |
