Hi,

One thing can help is the following.  Right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select 'Playback Devices'.  Left click the default device once to highlight it ( it's usually 'speakers & headphones' ) then click the Properties button.  Click the Enhancements tab and put a tick in the box next to 'Loudness Equalization'.  Click Apply to save the change and then click OK in all remaining windows and see if this has helped at all.

Regards,

Thanks so much for your suggestion.  It worked like a charm and I've been pulling my hair out for a year over this problem.  I've been online before for help, but didn't see your solution, unfortunately, until now.  For some reason, only one of the speakers was working at all and it was very low.  Now that I followed your steps to correct it, I have good volume from both speakers.  Again, thank you so much.

I had resigned myself to buying headphones with amplifiers.
