Many users are unhappy with the sound volume in their headphones. For comfortable work at the computer, or when communicating with friends, the sound should be quite loud and of high quality. Unfortunately, some headphones are simply not capable of providing high-quality sound. But in some cases, simply adjusting the sound on your computer will help correct the sound quality and improve it.
- headphone malfunction. Perhaps the headphones are simply damaged or the sound volume suffers greatly due to their quality;
- problems with connection or output on the computer;
- software sound limitation.
So, the first thing to do is to trust the performance of the headphones and try a few simple mechanical methods.
For this:
- Connect other headphones to the computer and check the sound quality in them. If this is not possible, then check your headphones on any other device. For example, on the phone;
- Check that the plug is inserted all the way. As usual, on a computer, headphones can be connected to acoustics or to the system unit. Try connecting your headphones to a different jack;
- Check all mechanical switches and volume controls. Turn them all the way up.
