cjbeckwith Posted April 6, 2003 Share Posted April 6, 2003 If you plug another output device, like regular computer speakers, into the out port do you have the same problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hunter1234 Posted April 6, 2003 Share Posted April 6, 2003 have you tried changing the speaker profile to headphones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eye_see_you Posted April 6, 2003 Share Posted April 6, 2003 what type of card do you have ? is the audio cable going from the cdrom drive if that is your source? its possible the card you may have if its older is not amplified . Some cards needed amplified speakers in order to produce sound otherwise maybe faulty headphones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

username Posted April 6, 2003 Share Posted April 6, 2003 the sound card output is not amplified, you have to go through a sterio or another source to amplify the signal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icie Posted April 6, 2003 Share Posted April 6, 2003 Can you clarify the situation? Are you plugging both your headphones and your speakers into the soundcard? Like the speaker into the normal sound output port and the headphones into the line-out port? Because that situation tends to reduce the volume/quality of the sound for most hardware. If so, try getting a 2-port adapter and plugging it into the normal sound output port, then both your speakers and your headphones into that. (ie: Don't use the line-out and the normal sound port together). Using the 2-port adapter does not cause volume loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blodia Posted April 6, 2003 Share Posted April 6, 2003 as it was stated above, you'll probably need to amplify the sound using an external amp. You probably had no problems with the speakers cuz they have a built in amp (im presuming) but a headset doesnt. So tahts the only way to go about it, you need an amp to amplify the sound. Either that or you gotta switch back to your speakers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TadXP Posted April 6, 2003 Share Posted April 6, 2003 I had the same problem too, except I got mine to get a little louder, but I just turned the volume up, and changed speaker profile. I think if you use a headphone jack, instead of an audio out jack, that would fix the problem, but I dont know that for sure. Does anyone know if that is right??

PCKing Posted April 7, 2003 Share Posted April 7, 2003 If you are plugged into the "front out" or whatever on your sound card then you need to change your speaker style in the control panel... if you are in the front of the cdrom there should be a volume knob there for you...
