Because i'm insane



anyways i have this problem my speakers are really quiet i turned up the volume on the computer all the way but they're still just a whisper i can bareley hear them above the comp fan. now they say that they are "passive" and i assume that is why there is no volume control on the speakers themselves so if anyone could help i would be sooo thankful because have no sound sucks but haveing very very quiet sound is just as bad!!!! :mad:

what OS do you have

[GreenGaucho]

right click little speaker symbol on bottom right taskbar -> open volume control.
click drag the left one to the top.

I had the same problem.. try going to the windows update site and updating all the drivers and stuff for your sound card.. that worked for me coz i have an SiS sound card

if it's saying it's passive then that means it has no amplification to push it throught the speakers and you're just getting the input signal. i don't know how that relates to the answer but i hope this helps in some way.

they say passive but on the box it also says built in amplifier
