The sound on my firefox browser is low but when I listen to Window media player, it is very loud.

Your computer should have a little speaker icon in the lower right hand corner of the screen on the taskbar. Click on it and check to make sure that volume slider is set to the maximum volume.

Also check the media player program that you are using for a seperate volume control since most players like Windows Media Player or VLC Media Player will also have their own dedicated volume control somewhere right on the media player window itself. So just make sure this second volume control is also set to maximum.

Otherwise that may simply be as much as your built in laptop speakers are able to achieve. Very few laptops will have loud high performance speakers built-in. Most people simply buy an aftermarket external powered speaker system to plug into the headphone jack of their laptop if they want / need loud high quality sound.

Here are some links to a few models of external powered computer speaker systems that are currently available on EBay:

I truly hope that was helpful to you.


Good luck and take care.

Hi,

Thank you for choosing FixYa! Regarding your concern for a media player download, I advise to get the VLC media plyer instead. Why? Because VLC has the most codecs a media player could offer to play all types of audio and video formats. Follow the instructions below.

1. Click on the link http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-windows.html
2. Click on "Installer Pack"
3. On the next page, wait for the download prompt to come up and click on Run (for Internet Explorer Browser) or Save file (for Mozilla Firefox Browser).
4. Wait for the download to complete and play any audio or video file.

There are cases where a media player displays distorted videos. That is because of missing codecs. With VLC you have nothing to worry about. I am using this, so as a technician I highly recommend you to try it. Thank you for choosing FixYa! Enjoy!

NO SOUND IN FIREFOX This article identifies several causes (and solutions) of No Sound in Firefox.
Before using the instructions in this article, make sure other applications on your computer can play sounds. If Firefox is the only application that you can't hear, continue to the troubleshooting steps below.
If you want Firefox to make a "click" sound effect when you click on a link, and to use other small sound effects like Internet Explorer does when you browse web pages, try the Navigational Sounds extension.

WINDOWS VISTA VOLUME MIXER

1. Open Firefox and visit a site that should play sound.
   • e.g., Go to the Firefox videos page, and play a video.
2. Click the volume icon in the Windows task bar.
3. Click Mixer. The Volume Mixer window will appear.
4. Make sure the Firefox slider is not at the bottom
   

FLASH BASED VIDEOS OR MEDIA LACK SOUND
If you're only having trouble hearing sound from pages that use Flash for video and audio (such as YouTube), you may be experiencing a problem with the Flash plugin. Follow the instructions in the Flash-based videos and sound do not play correctly article.


NON STANDARD CODE
Websites made using FrontPage add background music to webpages using non-standard code.

1. At the top of the Firefox windowOn the menu bar, open the Tools menu, and select Page Info. The Page Info window will open.
2. If there is a line in the Page Info window saying "GENERATOR Microsoft FrontPage ...", contact the webpage author.

OTHER PLUGINS Most web page sounds are made through plugins. For these sounds to work, you need to have the correct plugin installed. If a plugin isn't installed, you'll normally see a puzzle piece icon and Firefox will show a yellow bar telling you that you need to install the plugin.
See the Popular plugin article for links on how to install various plugins, including QuickTime, Windows Media Player, RealPlayer, and more.


PLUGIN VOLUME CONTROLS
Some plugins have their own volume controls. Check for a volume control directly on the plugin or in the right-clickCtrl+click menu.

No, it will not harm your laptop, it might harm your ears if you listen to it too loud through headphones. The only possible damage could occur if you listen through the laptops speakers, too loud and constant would adversly wear out the speakers.

upgrade your flash player flash player 10.0
change your browser and see

Go to settings -->Common settings --> AVLS (volume limit) turn it off. Back out to music settings and --> equalizer --> go to custom 1 -- edit and turn all the sliders to the top. Thats as loud as it will get. Head phones do make a difference - look for the lowest Ohms you can afford. I like the Sony or the Sandisk product, not as confined as an Apple. but the Apple is louder.

Hi, The problem that you are facing is a grave issue as it is related to internet browser itself. All you will have to remember the video website that you have been through recently and check where you have muted the sound. The situation that you are in currently is dealt like this only as muting sound on a website effects all other video or audio websites on your internet browser. However you can try resetting internet browser to manufacturer's default to check it further. Resetting Internet Explorer is easy. Open Internet Explorer > Tools Menu> Internet Options> Advanced tab> Reset. If you are using Firefox, open Start Menu>Run and then type "firefox -safe-mode" without quotes and reset firefox completely.
Hope that resolved your issue.
Cheers!
