Loudness equalization good or bad drivers#

In XP, open the Realtek Audio Manager (double-click on the realtek icon, an orange speaker icon, on the taskbar), click on the вЂњMixerвЂќ tab and under the wheel for Playback volume there are two little icons, a wrench and a speaker. The solution posted here works, but in my case the real problem was that on the вЂњSpeaker PropertiesвЂќ dialog box there was a tab before the вЂњEnhancements TabвЂќ (canвЂ™t remember the name, donвЂ™t have Vista anymore), there was an option called вЂњLimited OutputвЂќ which was checked, unchecking it solved the problem. I actually think my wifeвЂ™s Acer Aspire One (also Realtek Sound card) running Windows XP has the same problem but unfortunately I could not find any similar settings there.ДonвЂ™t know if it will help, but I recently bought an Acer 5535 laptop and had the same problem. вЂ“ Bingo! Sound volume is up a lot, maybe 50%!

Check Loudness Equalization (on my setup all other unchecked) and hit Apply. вЂ“ On the Enhancements tab make sure Disable All Sound Effects and Immediate Mode are both unchecked. A new dialog box вЂ“ Speaker Properties вЂ“ opens up. вЂ“ From the Playback tab select the Playback device being used, in my case Speakers Realtek High Definition Audio (marked with a green checkbox) and click the Properties button. вЂ“ Right click on the speaker icon in the task bar and select Playback Devices (or find it in the Windows Control Panel) The Sound dialog box opens up. вЂ“ Have song playing so you can here the difference.

It seems to be related to Realtek drivers on Windows Vista. It has been ok and only a little bit annoying, but a few days ago we moved to another house for a month (weвЂ™re currently travelling in Thailand) with no TV so now the family have to watch movies on the laptopвЂ¦ДЄnyway, I found the solution thanks to this post by brielle128 at. IвЂ™ve always thought the sound volume on my Acer TravelMate 5530G has been very low even if I turned everything up to 100%.
