How To Fix The Most Common Low Volume Problems On Windows – SlashGear

If you’ve recently introduced a new pair of speakers or set of headphones into your Windows set-up, it might require a louder system volume level than you’re used to.

Fortunately, this is the easiest method to fix low-volume problems, and you can accomplish it in just a few clicks.

1. Locate the small speaker icon on the taskbar’s right side — it’s your access point to volume control.
2. Left-click the speaker icon, and a slider will appear for volume adjustments.
3. Right-click the same icon if more advanced settings are needed, selecting Open Sound settings from the dropdown.
4. In this new window, choose your output device and fine-tune its volume level to your preference.

While adjusting system volume settings, it’s crucial to remember that individual software often possesses its own set of volume controls, which could supersede system settings. If your low-volume problems only occur with specific software, you’ll likely need to fix the problem from within the respective program.

1. Open the volume or sound settings menu within the specific program.
2. Make sure the volume output slider is adjusted correctly.
3. If that doesn’t work, you may need to check whether you selected the correct output device.

Contact the software’s support team if you need help finding the volume or sound settings menu.
