Low volume The volume is very low even in max vol. I tried adjusting both from the volume Icon and ythe keyboard.

This solution really worked for me on my Acer Extensa 5210. Have good hearing, but ITV Player This solution really worked for me on my Acer Extensa 5210. Have good hearing, but ITV Player

The sound of each application played in the system can be amplified up to 500%. Letasoft Sound Booster can increase the volume of programs such as web browsers, online communication software (Skype, MSN, Live), any media player or game. Simply put, with Letasoft Sound Booster, the volume of virtually any program that can play any sound on the PC can be increased to a comfortable level. You can control the current volume with the pop-up slider in the taskbar. Alternatively, you can use system-wide hotkeys to increase or decrease, and use them when you need to adjust the volume. Letasoft Sound Booster constantly monitors the current gain level and prevents samples from becoming saturated, thereby avoiding larger sound distortions.https://keygensoft.com/letasoft-sound-bo...

old PC, laptops and runs XP no doubt.
all laptops have weak sound, all do
use external powered speakers. bingo LOUD!
but if they had said, it was loud before but not now, then here is that answer.
clearly:
first off the OP never gave a clue as to what media they were using, DVD can have weak sound, (using wrong audio choices in the media players does that)
nor if internet sounds, (name a URL)
nor if playing MP3 CDs. or CD_CA store bought music, not one clue stating what you are doing.
OR?

lets say even windows SOUNDs are weak.
NOw that is clear as bell.
The first cure and alway first on ANY PC
is to get the correct XP drivers for sound/audio from HP.com (or MS,microsoft)
no other driver is better, matched.
loaded then use Control panel sounds to set the sound VOLUME as you want.

just 2 steps, 1":load the correct driver.
then 2: adjust it as you wish.

but XP is virus magnet and if the OS is corrupted as Most XP PCs are all hope is gone. old PC, laptops and runs XP no doubt. all laptops have weak sound, all do use external powered speakers. bingo LOUD! but if they had said, it was loud before but not now, then here is that answer. clearly: first off the OP never gave a clue as to what media they were using, DVD can have weak sound, (using wrong audio choices in the media players does that) nor if internet sounds, (name a URL) nor if playing MP3 CDs. or CD_CA store bought music, not one clue stating what you are doing.
