Volume at 100% and sound too low to watch dvd tried with several dvds and volume is too low

1) Could be your speaker connections and balance settings.
2) Could be the balance settings on your PC audio contoler, you'll need to go into your sound options.
3) Could be the vocoders or lack thereof in you DVD player software. Try VLC Media Player, its free from here:- http://www.filehippo.com/download_vlc/

voices come out through the "center" speaker. Check that connection (both on the speaker and DVD player)

If it's just playing DVD's that the volume is low some DVD players have their own volume control.
You could look at the back of your tv and see if the dvd or psp is hooked up to a "line in" or a 'variable' input. The Line in is a constant audio source. The variable will be also affected by the volume on the TV.

get a splitter that allows you to plug 2 sets of headphones in the portable dvd player.

The sound is the only place were this machine falls short. The sound is okay at best with the built in speakers, but any background noise makes it nearly impossible to hear anything from them even with the volume all the way up. Not surprising since due to the size of the player the speakers are only a little bigger then headphone speakers, but with headphones or portable plug-in speakers the sound is superb. Besides the sound the only 2 complaints are that you can not control the volume with the remote and that the power switch is too easily turned on by accident (do not travel with the battery attached or you will find you have no charge when it comes time to watch a movie). The battery lasts 3.5 to 4 hours, long enough for 2 short movies or 1 long one.

, headphones are a must, or get a device to play the audio through your car stereo ($15-$25). The player has the option to either input or output the A/V so you could play video games on the run or you could hook up a VCR and watch VHS...be creative

Not much you can do about this. The movie industry sets movies to low volume when recording for better sound. They expect you to have the equipment to boost the sound. This cuts down on their outside noise. Only solution for this is to install external speakers as I have done for my movie or TV playing (I installed a TV adapter so I could hook up a projector and display the BIG game outside) but as you say, we couldn't hear it until I hooked up external speakers.

i may try to change other DVD player software..........see if any change

You can check already the audio setting in your dvd software maybe the volume is low or mute. Click Start, accessories,entertainment and volume control adjust the volume to higher or look if the volume is mute

here u need an upgrade it might be that u r using a older version of sound card or an inbuilt sound card that is shipped with the system ....,.hence the videos that r released nowerdays are HD(high defination) videos..........so there r two options that u can try http://en.utilidades-utiles.com/download-vlc-windows-vista.php and download the vlc player from the internet it might resolve the issue or u can attach an sound card to ur system...............u will get an sound card in the market or call up ur vendor and order a sound card.......i garentee ur sound issue will be resolved...................................if not then send me an mail on [email protected]........................
.....................thankyou

Unplug the system from the wall and plug in again...It worked for me...hope it works for you too.

Start a DVD playing, cover the IR sensor on the DVD player with something opaque. Try changing the volume, the player should keep playing. Your TV, surround sound, and DVD player have conflicting IR codes. The DVD player probably does not use a discreet IC to filter the IR sensor, and the processor in the DVD player is having to look at all the IR codes picked up by the IR sensor. Go to Walmart or KMart and buy a new DVD player for $29.00 or stop changing the volume while watching DVDs :) Sorry, there's no real solution that I know of. Paul.
