Turning up the sound on my PC headphones?

Question

I've just borrowed some cds from the library, transferred them onto my pc, and I'm listening to them through a headset using windows media player. I've got the volume control turned up as far as it will go on media player - that's the sliding triangle type of control. It's only just loud enough and I want it louder. But the sliding triangle is over to the right as far as it will go. I could make the sound louder by taking off the headset and using the knob on the speakers but I don't want to use speakers - I want to use headphones (for various reasons, family members etc). Anyway, I've been into control panel settings and maxed the volume there but it's hardly made any difference.

Surely there's something more I can do to get the sound louder in my headphones?

Thanks.

Answer 1

try plugging your headphones where you plug the speakers in the back off your pc.the volume will increase a lot

Answer 2

when you say "transferred", does that mean you ripped the CDs (i.e., converted them into mp3 files onto your computer and no longer need the original CDs)? Maybe you ripped them at a low volume.

Otherwise I would invest in other headphones, some headphones have a volume adjuster which I think has a tiny battery inside the adjuster.

Answer 3

go to control pannel then sounds and audio devices
then increase ur device volume to high.

i think it will work and then go to speaker volume then
turn ur speaker volume to high both left and right then hit ok
and try again

or

U should use better headphone

Answer 4

Make sure the volume is turned up on the switch near where your head phones are plugged in. Then make sure on you're actual screen its turned up. Good luck. :)

Answer 5
