Audio Sound Not Loud Speakers

[Rebekka0034]

I am needing some help. I am not very computer literate.
My audio/music is not very loud from my computer speakers.
Can someone please help? Also, is there a scan that you can download onto your computer to help repair incorrect sound and audio device drivers?

Thank you for your help and I greatly appreciate it.

Rebecca

[thesmokingun]

what kind of speakers are you using? do they have their own power? what operating system are you running?

[Rebekka0034]

Speakers: Altec Lansing Operating system: Win XP
I plug in to computer..
Thanks.

[thesmokingun]

umm...do your speakers only have the plug that goes into the computer? or do they have their own power plug? or are they integrated into your monitor?

[Rebekka0034]

Speakers have their own power plug

I read through your Everest report and really don't see any problems in there.
Your motherboard is normally used in HP's and does use the Realtek HD driver.
The only thing I can think to have you check is:
Double check your Volume Control. (right click your volume icon and choose "Open Volume Control") This opens the Master Volume Control.
Click Options and then Properties.
Make sure all the volume controls you use are chosen.
Last, make sure the Volumes in the Master Volume Control are set to higher levels.
