Hi,

My daughter's i8600 plays all audio formats just fine, regardless of
application used to play them (WMP, MusicMatch, iTunes, etc), but, when she
plays a DVD using any DVD application (WMP, Dell Media Experience,
PowerDVD), the volume is so low that you have to get real close to the
laptop to hear it.

I've checked all settings, and everything appears to be configured
correctly.

Any ideas?

Sincerely,
Bruce

I can only see 3 places to change the volume. The computer itself, the
Power DVD player volume controls, and double click on the speaker icon and
make sure WAVE is turned up.

Yep, and all those are set as high as possible.

Thanks,

An innocent question.............it's a genuine (not copied) DVD?

I've come across this problem before with copied DVDs, it's one of the forms
of anti-copy protection used.

I understand your question, and it's a legitimate one. Yep, these are
store bought DVDs, not copied ones. (But copied ones produce a low
volume on the laptop, too.) Both types do fine on set top boxes, and on
desktops. Hmmm, come to think of it, I have another laptop, an i6000;
I'll try a DVD on that one.

If the DVD offers a stero audio track and a 5.1 audio track, chose the
stereo for two speaker playback. It will be louder that 5.1.
Alternatively, hook up to an external 5.1 sound system with its own
controls. The 5.1 to stero conversion is the problem, I think.
