How Do You Turn The Volume Up On A Computer?

    A computer alone produces a low sound output, which in often amplified by a small amplifier housed in one of the two speakers.

    The computer audio output level can be adjusted by navigating from Start > Settings > Control Panel > Sounds and Audio Devices > Audio tab > Volume Button ... Then set the sliders to the desired level.

    The amplifier audio level can usually be adjusted using a volume control on one of the speakers. Of course, you will hear nothing if the amplifier is not switched on.

    To produce higher volume levels, for example, if you wished to feed the computer signal through your hi-fi system, you would need to feed the computer output into spare line "input" sockets on your hi-fi amplifier. You may need to buy a cable of suitable length and with appropriate connecting plugs on each end.

    When connecting your computer output to any amplifier for the first time, I would recommend setting the computer output very low and gradually increasing the amplifier output volume control to a quarter. Then gradually increase the computer output and the amplifier volume until you get the sort of levels you require, without distortion.

        At the bottom of your computer on the left hand side, there should be a bunch of little icons. See the one that looks like a megaphone? Or a horn? Click on it.
        That will bring up where you can change it
