How do you fix the volume on Windows XP?
959151
I had a similar problem with Windows Media Player.  The volume control on my system tray was all the way up, I went into my control panel and checked the sound and audio devices. Everything was checked and double checked. I finally realized that WMP has its own mute button. So does YouTube. So I have to ask, is the YouTube mute button on or off?\n\nplrr

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.

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

If running windows: \nStart-> programs-> accessories-> entertainment-> "volume control"\n\nclick: file-> "properties"\n    then select "recording controls"\n    Check the box titled "Microphone" in the device list      that appears below. \n    click "Ok"\n\nThen you should see a lot of sliders, they control the volume level of each device on your PC. Go to the "microphone" labeled one and check the box that says "mute" on the lower area. \n\n This should fix the problem. To Unmute the mic just uncheck the box.

Step 1: Checking volume and mute settings:\nThe volume setting for one or more sound devices might be disabled or set too low. Use the following steps to adjust volumes to their correct levels:\n\nIn Windows XP, click Start, and then click Control Panel.\nIn Windows 98 and ME, click Start, click Settings, and then click Control Panel \nIn Windows XP, open Sounds, Speech, and Audio Devices, and then click Sound and Audio Devices.\nIn Windows 98 and ME, open Sounds and Multimedia, and then click the Audio tab. \nIn Windows XP, click the Advanced button under Device Volume.\nIn Windows 98 and Me, click the Volume button under Sound Playback. \nRemove all checkmarks from Mute boxes at the bottom of the Master Volume window and adjust the volume setting slide bars to their highest positions. Close the Master Volume window and test for sound. If there is still no sound, go to the next Step. \n\nStep 2: Verifying the connections:\n\nUse the following steps to verify that the sound cables are properly connected from the speaker to the computer (cable connectors and plug assignments are normally color-coded to aid with connections).\n\nUnplug the sound cable. \nPlug headphones or one speaker directly into the speaker out connector on the back of the computer. The speaker out connector may have a symbol of a speaker \nor a circle with an arrow pointing out, or it may just say "OUT" next to it. Test for sound using the computer. If sound does not work, go to "Step 3: \n\nIf sound is restored when the headphones or one speaker is plugged in, replace the original sound cable with a new sound cable and test for sound. Sound should be restored after replacing the sound cable. If sound does not come back after replacing the cable, the sound card needs to be replaced because the speaker out connector is bad.\n\nStep 3: Configuring on-board sound in the BIOS:\n\nSome computers come with sound on the motherboard (on-board), and some computers use a sound card. The on-board sound setting in the BIOS has to be set according to your particular sound configuration. Perform the following steps to correctly configure the sound in the BIOS:\n\nLook at the back of your computer and use one of the following three items to determine the proper sound configuration and sound setting: \nIf the plugs for the speakers and microphones are located next to the parallel, serial, or USB ports, then the computer has on-board sound. The on-board sound setting in the BIOS should be Enabled. If the plugs for the speakers and microphone are located away from the other ports and sit in an area by themselves, the computer has a soundcard. The on-board sound setting (if there is one) in the BIOS should be Disabled. If the computer has sound plugs in both locations, a \nsoundcard has been added to the computer that already contains on-board sound. The on-board sound setting should be Disabled. To enter the BIOS, turn on the computer and when the first screen appears, press the F1 key repeatedly until the BIOS Setup screen opens. Use the LEFT and RIGHT ARROW keys to select the Advanced tab. Press the DOWN ARROW key to select Onboard Audio Options and press ENTER. If Onboard Audio Options is not available, select I/O Device Configuration and press ENTER. If Audio Codec is listed, select it and press ENTER. Select either Enabled or Disabled depending on your \nconfiguration and press ENTER. Press the F10 key and then press ENTER to save and exit Start Windows and check for sound. If there is still no sound, continue to the next Step.\n\nStep 4: Restoring the sound drivers\n\nUse the recovery process to restore individual drivers for a sound or combination sound-modem card. \n\nIf the computer came with recovery discs (Windows 98 and Me), place the last disc of the set into the top disc drive and follow the on-screen menus as they appear. Restart the computer after restoring the sound driver software and test for sound.\nIf there is still no sound, continue to th

most speakers on your computer also have a volume control, as well as the player your using to play what ever it is your trying to make louder.\nyou also have a control for your computers settings, click on the small speaker looking thing next to your clock.\ncheck all 3, I bet you have at least one turned way down, if your using windows media (get something else it sucks) often it plays default at 50% volume until you change it.

3 ways to do this\n\nIf you have XP, just do a windows update. Choose custom, then click hardware on the left. It should display an update for your sound driver.\n\nIf you don't have windows XP, find the "device drivers" disk if you recieved one with your computer and reinstall the sound driver.\n\nIf you know what kind of sound driver you have, go to the companys website and you can download the latest version. This is the best option, but the other two don't require you to figure out what sound driver you have.

install the sound drivers if you have the CD. But XP usually does not need any drivers, other then of particular functionality..
