My laptop is playing sound at a very low level. All the volume controls are turned up to the max, but I can barely hear anything through the built-in speakers or through earbuds. Toshiba Satellite A101 S105

is the test tone loud or at the same level. you need to check the volume level of your player dvd, cd to make sure it's all the way up some players have volume level built into them.

remove battery from phone and reinstall after 10 mins... this seems to fix alot of things also go to sound setting a make sure the volume is turned up all the way

Check that your mic settings in the Volume control is not maxed out. Turn the mic off and see if the fuzziness clears up.

I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/joe_8b8c2cd6ce148309

I'm thinking you need to turn the volume down if you don't want to REALLY blow something up when you find the control that might be out of position. If you hear anything like the desired program right now it isn't a blown channel. Look for a control or switch that is out of place.

increase the volume to max level .close yourself to TV speaker and listen.if could not hear anything,just turn it off and turn on if you could not hear at least pop sound from the speaker,you will have to replace new speaker.if you are able to hear Buzz noise or very low sound ,sound circuit has to be repaired.

check if the external speakers u plugged in came with an internal amplifier, if not then u will have to use an external amplifier to get max output from your external speakers.

thebuzzer of your phone is defected, replace itand replace also the earpiece 

If the volume buttons work when using the Radio, then the buttons on the Remote are fine.
Now if the volume on your TV is set to MAX and you can barely hear it.
The issue lies with your TV.. ()
Now if I understand correctly or if I am to assume you are using a Reviever.
If the reciever is used for all volumes... If this is the case.
I also assume the volume on the TV Speakers is set to off
Therefore when you use the Radio/DVD the volume control is using the Reciever volume.
and when you switch to TV it uses the TV volume thus the TV volume is not gonna work as well.
2 scenarios
1 The TV volume even at max is not giving you enough power to get the low receiver volume
2 the Receiver volume is at max and barely audible.. if this is the case just manualy adjust your TV volume to get it to a decent sound level.

Hard to explain but I know the 2 issues can be fixed.

Hi, it sounds like your onboard sound is faulty,
Purchase and install a PCI sound card, these are reasonable cheap and produce good sound quality.

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.
