Increase volume on weak laptop speakers w/ Windows 7

You can boost the sound by 200%
1. Right click on "speak icon" on the right corner of the display
2. Click "Playback devices"
3. Under Playback Tab, click "Speaker -HD Audio Device" and then click "Properties"
4.Under Enhancements Tab, check on "Loudness Equalization", then click OK

The only con is there is more distortion at max volume. At 50-75% volume works fine
This option works great for headphones and external speakers too.

Contact me for a picture if your still confused.

Be careful using this with your notebook speakers. A touch too loud and you'll blow them. Believe me, it doesn't take much. But I can say that DOES work. I use it from time to time.

 

I feel that most users here would probably know this. But, for those that don't, it could be useful.

 

This setting reduces the speaker volume in my Vaio FZ

 

This really just normalizes the output to a level a few dB below the max speaker volume. If you're playing a youtube video that's too quiet, it'll help a lot. But if something has a full volume output already, say a mainstream CD/mp3, it might make it quieter.

 

same here on my acer 8930G

 

I found that clicking Bass boost works better.

 

You can also choose 'Powerful' option to boost loudness.

 

the loudness equalizer makes my speakers quiter as well.

 

this tip is BS......sorry but it has no effect whatsoever on any of the computers I tested
