Volume too low - but all settings are maxed

[Guest]

the volume level on my pc is too low - i have changed all settings to max and
still cannot hear anything unless i crank speakers all the way up, and even
then it is too low. Brand new HP Pavilion - problem occured after installing
a new video capture card - which my monitor didn't like and so removed the
card. Sound coming from the speakers is very clear (not static) I just need
to figure out how to up the volume. I have reloaded drivers, even a system
restore thinking that the video card changed some settings - all to no avail

make sure your speaker configuration is not set to headphones
control panel/multimedia/audio/playback/advanced options

Is there a volume control knob on the speaker itself? (all mine have them).
If so turn it up.

My new Dell comes with no port for unpowered speakers - the port
there is will just barely make unpowered speakers work at full settings.
Rather than a speaker they call it the "line-out connector" - indicating
it is to be used with externally powered speakers. Perhaps your new HP
is the same.

all "windows" volume controls are set high and volume control on actual
spearkers is turned to max - otherwise cannot hear anything

am using harmon kardon powered speakers, have tried 2 different sets - also
have same volume level if I plug them into headphone jack

You haven't specifically said - have you checked yr "mixer" settings - the
Mute boxes are Unticked? Some progs use their own mixer, and mute the system
sound-card mixer. It's a pain when using a different prog which needs it.
