Laptop sound - any suggestions as to how to fix the sound volume on my laptop ?

brianposter

My laptop speakers produce a reasonable sound volume when "tested" but the sound is almost inaudible on youtube, etc. All obvious volume controls are set to maximum. Windows 10.

Have you opened the sound mixer panel, youtube or your browser might not be on 100%

Browser sound - where do I find that ?

Go to the speaker's icon and right-click. Select Open Volume mixer.

Anything connected to your headphone socket?

Nothing connected.

I have to ask, is the volume on youtube set to max?
Have you tried headphones? if so same problems?

No headphones available. Volume on BBC is a lot better than Youtube but still inadequate.

Try setting it on the command line.  I use linux not windows but had to set my volume to 147%.  Maybe on Windows as well you can go past 100% on the command line,

You've been asked a few times, but not confirm this - in the YouTube Player in oyur brwoser - have you turned the volume up there too?
