Not loud enough, sound is low. plays well but very low sound

If you are using a box for signal it is possible sound is turned down on it---also check to see if sound is loud enough when a DVD etc is played via the rear audio/video inputs.

Hi Lbirnel,

Your TV is not producing enough sound and so even the surround sound system is not able to do much.

Sometimes the software in the set gets corrupt and the sound goes low. Someone who can open the service menu and can check/correct the settings if this the case.

Secondally, the sound section on the main board is not producing enough sound due to aged or failed components. Again an experienced TV Tech can do the job.

If these two things are not possible, simply change the main board and enjoy watching your TV with good sound.

I hope it helps.

Good Luck.

Please check volume and sound effects settings (such as Equalizer,Surround etc), if it feels same, check whether that you are using an branded headset.

Use the UP and Down keys to control the sound loud and low. Press the Up key will make the sound loud, the sound will be ok when you play the video on computer. More useful similar information:digital cameras after holidays

There could be a few problems,

Q1. The audio track you are playing is a loud one.

A1. Does the music play loud anywhere else, Like, On your PC? If it does, There you go.


Q2. Do all the songs play loud? If so, It may be broken.

2A. So far as I know, There isn't a repair site for it, I may be wrong, But, Maybe not. Sorry.

Hope I could help, Good luck.

try changing the buzzer

Often it is to do with the kind of sound that is being outputted by the DVD player. If the sound for example is set to produce dolby 5.1 and you don't have a suitable decoder it will be very low.
Check the sound settings of both your DVD player and sound system.

Connect the projector to an external amplifier and speakers.
The speaker system built in is designed for watching movies etc in a small quiet room.

Hope that helps =)

Well... The speaker is ok and if you're using the headset it should be loud enough for you. If you want it to be louder just use earphones/headphones that are sound isolating to block out ambiant noise. The hpm-70 can kinda do that because they go in in your as opposed to sitting on the outside of your ear. The earpiece volume is really loud. I found it hard to hear to people in some places.

Good Luck

Your subwoofer is not capable of playing as loud as you want it to. That sound is the woofer reaching its limit. If you have any bass tone setting on your receiver set them to flat. If there are any other bass settings i.e contour, loudness boost etc turn them off. You can also try putting the woofer into a corner. This will increase the output. Closer to you would also be louder. Otherwise you need a sub with more output. Don't let the power rating fool you when you get a new one.
