I have an HP Laptop with Windows 7 and I have correctly set up my Logitech LS21 speakers, but the volume control does not enhance the sound coming from my laptop. The speakers work fine, but the sound is low and it doesn't seem as if the volume control works. My soundcard is working fine as well. I am unsure on how to fix this.

check if the audio driver if installed properly and if so also check the volume control.

Hello
Try going to control panel,audio,settings.Make sure your speakers are set to 5.1 surround sound.

Next if there is software for these speakers or your audio device be sure it is also set for surround sound.

if your computer came with a motherboard disc the sound drivers could be on it
you might have to uninstall then restart your computer then reinstall both the sound drivers and the sound card make sure you have both of these devices backed up to a disc before uninstalling
a yellow? question mark means you need to install/update driver to do this

Go to your control panel from the start menu.

Select Sounds Icon. Here you will find a list of "installed" and built-in speakers. You need to select your newly installed speakers, and calibrate them (or test) them.

It is all right there in the Sounds Control Panel.

Please let me know if you need further assistance.

Loudness Equalization : on

Equalizer: Choose one (Jazz seems to be loudest setting but sounds of hallway effect so I use powerful for clarity.)

This has more than doubled the level of volume on my acer 5570.
