JBL Pro Computer Speakers Compaq 309996-001 Good Working Condition 2 Speakers Logo
Anonymous Posted on Jan 21, 2013

My JBL Pro Computer Speakers Compaq 309996-001 have VERY LOW VOLUME. There are no vol controls on the speakers. All volume controls (slides) are to the max.

    I actually have this same problem with speakers & another computer (not at this location, so I can't give model #). I actually get some sounds, but things like YouTube videos the sound is EXTREMELY LOW (the only way you can hear it at all is to put your ear ON the speaker). This new computer is Windows 7, the other computer is Vista OS.

Because This Speaker is PASSIVE Speaker, and must Use Some Mini Audio Amplifier like 3-10 Watt to Drive the Speaker.

SOURCE: JBL Creature Speakers have very low volume

I had the same problem. Then I read about the volume controls on the right speaker. They are silver buttons for me on the front bottom left and right of the speaker. Now they play really loud!

SOURCE: JBL Pro Computer Speakers....

hi,

I believe your old sound card may be of higher quality than your new one, I had the same problem years ago what I did was this, I ran my speakers through an old dedicated dubbing cassette player out of an old kenwood stack stereo then into the computer, the cassette has a mild adjustable preamp when in record, you will have to put the deck on record the rest of the time with a blank tape- any old cassete deck will work.(thrift store) and your going to need a couple parts from radio shack. If you have the know how I suggest switching the audio cards out, drivers etc and / or seeing if you can have them both plugged in without an issue. If issue then try cassette then call and complain to the computer company for installing sub standard equipment.

computer audio output-> line in cassette->line out cassette-> line to speaker input

good luck

Low volume with volume cranked up

Are the speakers battery-powered (with dead batteries?) or AC-powered (but not plugged-in) ?

Do the speakers work correctly when connected to some other desktop or laptop or iPod ?

Low volume on creature speakers

Your speaker volume must have reset. You have to touch the dots on the right speaker to turn up the volume to desired volume. I just remembered that on my system. Hope this helps.

Standard speakers to the computer , low volume

You are getting low volume because there is no amplifier in those speakers. Computer speaker sets are powered -- there is an amp in one of them them which drives both speakers -- a computer audio output without an amplifier will only satisfactorily drive headphones.
