Hi, I've recently been given a new laptop from work (with integrated
speakers) and I can't get the sound volume up to anything like a usable
level. I've been through all the settings and even when they are all at max
the sound is extremely quiet - it is the same with or without headphones, and
whether the sound is from online or from a cd.

I've had a look through some similar posts and have already tried the advice
from them.

The soundcard is compatible as far as I can tell....is there anything I've
missed? Any help much appreciated.

Thanks, Marie
