Sound not loud enough under Windows Vista

[fungalreason]

I've had similar problems, Bwaha, and I have yet to come up with a solution.

I'm using Vista but with a different sound card. Some programs are loud enough, but others (like playing a DvD are simply too quiet). I've tried messing with the control panel settings, as well as the mixer you get when double clicking on the Volume icon in the notification area. Everything I've seen has been at maximum level though. Looking for an updated sound driver and/or reinstalling it was my next step, but I haven't gotten around to it yet.

During a search for patches I came across this: http://forums.microsoft.com/TechNet/...8190&SiteID=17

I hope this helps, I looked at it and thought they were speaking a different language. Truly incomprehensible to me.

I've found a solution. Turtle Beach sells a signal amp that goes into an usb port. It costs about 25 bucks. Now I can listen to music, watch videos, etc. I hope this helps those who have a similar problem.
