G7 Pavillion speaker volume too low

[mtbibis]

HP Pavillion G7 2233cl.  The speaker volume has always been low, even at 100% when watching videos of any kind from any app.  Headphone jack works fine and volume has to be low or it's too loud.  System sounds seem to be loud enough.

I have tried the following based on old threads:

1.  Updated drivers.  The drivers now just show "High Definition Audio Driver", not any specific company's drivers.

2.  In Speaker Properties/Enhancements, turned on Loudness Equalizations.

Is there any way to fix this?  Nothing has ever worked.

Hi:

See if installing this IDT audio driver and restarting the PC, resolves the problem...

This package contains the driver that enables the IDT High-Definition (HD) Audio in supported notebook models that are running a supported operating system.

The speakers generally are not great on this laptop, but there has been an improvement.  Thanks for the help.

Hey Paul.

I need your help. I have the same problem with low audio sound out of my speakers on my G7. I tried the audio driver you suggested and now I have no sound. I'm pretty good with computers, but I'm a little out of the loop lately. How do I uninstall this driver you suggested so I can at least go back to what little sound I had before? Thanks for any help you can give.

UPDATE: I went into Device Manager and found both my previous audio driver with the new one you had shared that I installed. I disabled my previous one and restarted my computer. Same thing, still no sound from anything. I then reenabled my previous one and uninstalled the new one and still no sound and restarted my computer. I'm now looking for a way to get the sound back.

UPDATE: After I uninstalled the driver you suggested, I restarted my computer and used my Windows troubleshooting wizard and it fixed it back to my old one I guess. I have sound again. I'll just deal with what sound I have or use headphones where I can hear it louder.
