Laptop: volume too low - you can do that
If the volume of your laptop is too low, this can have various causes. We'll show you what you can do.
Volume too low - what you should check
- Check that your volume control is set to maximum volume. You will find this at the bottom right of the screen.
- Once the maximum settings have been reached, check whether the volume of the source (e.g. media player or YouTube) has reached the maximum. To do this, click on "Mixer" under the volume control.
- With some laptops, the volume can also be raised using the attached buttons. If your laptop has such buttons, set the volume to the maximum there.
Volume still too low - what you can do
- If your laptop suddenly becomes unnaturally quiet, it is quite possible that there is a technical defect. In this case, contact the manufacturer.
- If you often use your laptop for movies, music or video streaming, you should consider buying external speakers. So you not only improve the volume, but also the quality of the sound.
- You can also use programs to increase the volume. The VLC media player is a free program that allows you to increase the volume of movies and music even further.
We will show you in the next article whether you can deactivate the volume buttons on Android.
