All of my settings in the volume control are turned all of the way up and the + button on my laptop was held down until maximum volume, but any sounds that I hear are very quiet like the volume is turned way down, but it is all the way up. Where else can I go to determine why my volume is so quiet? Any one know what could cause this?

Windows XP laptop?
Did you double click the icon near the clock in the bottom right that looks like this:

Did you make sure everything here in the mixer was up to full (top of the sliders)?

If those don't work, you may need to speak to tech support for a loose sound cable or component inside the computer.

Are all sounds quiet, including the boot up fanfare? If its only some, eg a DVD, then its the source and there isn't much you can do. If its everything check the volume control under Programs, Accessories, Entertainment, Volume Control and see that all the sliders are all the way up. Next if the laptop has a rotary volume control check it is turned up or if the thing uses the keyboard (combination of keys) to adjust volume check that is done. Finally, open each program that uses sound (Media Player, Quicktime, Real Player etc) and check none oof these have a low volume setting selected.

did you try the volume button in the taskbar. Or go to start>all programs>accessories>entertainment. There you will find the volume. click on that and see whats the volume.

There are two sound controls sections in laptop or pc,one is sound card vol control which u can adjust from speaker icon on bottom of destop screen corner.You double click that spk icon and increase all levles of sound fader settings.
The other one is from application software,if you use windows media or sound player software,when play music,increase vol level to max of that application software.
