@lollipopkiss – I have not seen that behavior from the latest version, but does that happen with all media players? Have you tried VLC instead of Windows Media Player?

I had the older version of DFX (free limited version) and I loved it then one day the update popped up and claimed that with this update I will have more features free. So I updated it and it sucked because it won’t let me watch a movie by constantly interrupting by minimizing my video player.

THANK THANK THANK YOU! So many sites just tell you to use the sound bar, or to update your driver, or to reinstall flash or your sound driver, ALL of which I did and they fixed NOTHING! This is the first site that told me what I actually wanted to know, which was how to make my everyday sound from my computer LOUDER. THANK YOU for not considering us all idiots who can’t find the volume bar!

@rayden54 - Glad the loudness equalization option worked for you. Basically it is a method to normalize the volume of different frequencies, making high and low tones sound more similar to the mid range frequencies. That helps the human ear in more clearly hearing the various tones, which works particularly well with low volumes. There is some more on loudness equalization in this article.

I turned on Loudness Equalization. The Youtube video went from inaudible even with full volume to perfect.

If you don’t mind though, do you happen to know what “loudness equalization” actually IS or does? I can’t really tell from the description.

Thanks for the software suggestions. My brother always complains that his computer speakers suck. It’s probably because he uses his computer to watch movies since he doesn’t have a TV and desires a “theater” sound. I might suggest some of these programs to him after I take a look at them. Thanks.

@Ayesha – Have you tried using VLC player to open the network stream? That way you would benefit from the increased volume you were able to get with VLC, and still use the online audio source.
In the Media menu of VLC player, select Open Network Stream. Then copy+paste the network URL from the browser to the VLC player and click Play.

Hi
Thanks for all the usefull inputs . I purchased a Lenovo Z560 machine recently, its rated as a top multimedia machine with a lot of audio options, panels etc. I find the volume very low inspite of cranking up all the controls. VLC player gives better outputcompared to winamp, windows media, and realplayer. But this is for files which are being played off the computer or disc. What happens to streaming video/audio files, like on university lecture webcasts or like Youtube. I seem to have no control on this at all and get very poor output. Is there any soln for this.Which of the above mentioned 2 software would work for this or for files being played out of fixed media. The speaker specfications are 2 stereo speakers of 2 watts each.
Thanks for your help
Ayesha
