I plugged my computer into an old stereo system and now the walls vibrate. I have to lock the door to keep my wife from killing me when I crank up Ozzie and Crazy Train. It's not your sound card, I have a standard card in my puter. You need an amplifier and better speakers, both are costly. Best Buy will have a system for around two hundred dollars. A word of advice; get it anyway you can, it is just so much more fun!!!

Here... Go to start, settings, control panel, Select classic view from the right if it's not already set that way.  Then go to sounds and devices.  Under the Volume tab check the volume level.  Max that out!  Keep that at Max if you prefer using the speaker controls to adjust the volume.\n\nHope that helps!  :)

Change to the specific sound card you have and choose to show the tray volume icon.

you might just have a defected input... if it is terrible quality sound on a new PC then i suggest calling customer service.

you need to go into your control panel to the SOUNDS section (in the classic view).\n\nTHen make sure the PLACE VOLUME BUTTON in task bar is selected (this just makes it easier to do this going forward).\n\nthen close that window - and there should be a little speaker in your lower right corner.  Double CLICK that... and then choose OPTIONS, then PROPERTIES, then switch to RECORDING. \n\nNow at this point - every sound card is SLIGHTLY different...  You need to look in that middle box for something that says either WAV, or WHAT YOU HEAR, or ALL SOUNDS or something along those lines and make sure it's checked.\n\nThen click OK - and the volume window will open... check that box on the volume window (usually only one can be checkd at a time).  Once it is - then your computer will now record any audio it hears.  \n\nSo it would then be up to you to use your sound recorder of choice.  There are many free ones.  I use Sound Forge.. but it's expensive.  \n\nIf you go to tucows.com or download.com you can probably find a freeware sound recorder that is better then the one in windows - but you can use the windows one if you have no other choice  (START, PROGRAMS, ACCESS., ENTERTAINMENT, SOUND RECORDER).\n\nHope that helps -

The best way would be to get a pcmcia sound card. being a dell it SHOULD have a pcmcia card slot (not guaranteed). Many of these cards have line-in with hardware noise filtering. Check out cards by Creative Labs.

use a solid state amp and the absolute cheapest distortion stomp box you can find. Turn everything up louder than everything else. Oh, maybe learn how to play your instrument

I assume you're the webmaster. In W2K you've got a neat utility called SOUND RECORDER (sndrec32.exe), open your background music file, goto EFFECTS select INCREASE VOLUME BY 25%. That ought to do it.

I only now about XP but try double clicking on the little speaker on your task bar and run the cd player volume up.You can also get to it buy clicking start,control panel, sound speech audio devices.

Go to control panel\n\nclick the sound icon\n\nthere should be a "sound scheme" pull down\n\nselect No Sound instead of windows default.\n\nYour sound will still work but the system sounds will be off :)\n\n\n=================

If you have tried all the above and still cant get it done, try getting new speakers that can be attached to the laptop. But if your sound card doesnt amplify well enough, this output wont be great either. In this case, you might want to upgrade your sound card. A cost effective option would be to get a USB Sound Card, which is fully plug-n'-Play.

You need to install drivers for your sound card.\n\nIf you know what sound card you have you can go to the manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers from there. If you have on-board sound card refer to your motherboard manual/documentation.
