Quiet sound on Gigabyte MoBo

[bofhrevenge2]

Hi all i have a Gigabyte 7VM400MRZ board with onboard sound and it's very quiet, i have tried more than one pair of headphones but still no improvement. Has anyone else had problems with this board?

p.s. we have several PC's with this board and they are all the same.

Cheers.

Where are you plugging in your headphones? CDRom or soundcard connections?

CDrom is not amplified.

as previous person said where are you connecting head phones to?
check the onboard sound software configuratins to see it the volume is not turned downed. mistakes happen, check you are plugging it in the right socket.

Re-install the drivers. I've had a few times recently that the volume has been very low and it was due to corrupt/incorrectly functioning drivers.

This may be a silly suggestion, but when I got my headphones they were really quiet, and it took me a few minutes to find out there was a volume control inline with the headphone cord.

When I found that and turned it up it was fine.

Thanks guys i've tried them all except the drivers i'll download the latest and try. I'm plugging directly into the sound card.

bofhrevenge2,

Have you checked the volume settings by double clicking on the little yellow speaker down by your clock?

Yep it's full tilt, i've looked at all the muting options in advanced as well.

Cheers.
