There are several ways in which you can increase the volume.

First, the most obvious way is to use the volume control attached to the speaker unit itself. If that isn't working, there's also an icon in the lower right-hand portion of the task bar in Windows. Simply click the ^ button, select the icon that looks like a speaker, then drag that up to your desired preference.

If that doesn't work, click on Start, go to Control Panel, click on Sound, then search for your Speakers in the "Playback" tab. First, make sure it's set as your Default Device. There should be a green check mark in it. Double click on those, select Levels, then make sure Play Control is set to maximum.
If that doesn't work, then check the settings on your Sound Card. Make sure the wire going into the back is plugged in properly. You may need to update your sound card drivers. If you aren't sure who the manufacturer of your sound card is, you can find out by going to Start > Control Panel > Device Manager. The Manufacturer will be under Sound, Video and Game Controllers.

Once you have that information, you can go to the Manufacturer's website and update the Drivers. If this doesn't resolve the issue you are experiencing, or if you require more specific / additional information, simply respond to this thread. I'll be happy to assist you further.

Just purchased a used hk 3370,only hear a little bit of sound if I turn the volume all the way up.Tried both speaker sets and headphone jack,all the same

Turn the volume down. Maximum volume is not a troubleshooting tool. If it's silent at half volume, it's essentially source-free. No sense blowing your speakers up when we find the setting that's wrong.

Let's us FM for the initial silence issue. Tune a station.

Look carefully at the front panel. Analyze every indicator.

Is MUTED turned on?
Is a Tape selected by mistake?

Hi there, our amp is giving us very low sound output even when volume is turned up to maximum volume. We have been unable to find the remote and are wondering if the remote was turned right down would that...

I'd look at the front panel for the Mute Button and the Mute Indicator, but turn the volume down for any further investigations. If you can't hera the sound at 1/2 volume, it ain't there. No sense risking a sudden volume surge that will kill your speakers when you finally find the problem.

Also check the T-Mon Indicator. If it;s on you have the Tape selcted for listening instead of a source.

Volume/Mute Indicator: This

indicator will glow green when the

HK3270 is turned on. Its position

will enable you to judge the relative

volume of the unit even when the

speakers are muted or turned off.

When the indicator is pointing

towards the left, at an "8 o'clock"

position, the volume is low; when

it is pointing to the right, as in a

"3 o'clock" position, the volume is

loud. When the unit has been muted,

pressing the Mute button ïâthe
indicator will flash

My harmon kardon hk 3475 has very poor sound, almost none at all. it does this through all inputs. if i hook up through the line input it sounds ok but i have to use the volume control on my mp3 to turn up...

Poor sound or low volume?

Sudden onset or always like this?

When you say this, "if i hook up through the line input it sounds ok ", what exactly do you mean? What alternatives are you using to Line Level inputs. All inputs except Phono are Line Level.

How does FM sound?

How is the MP3 player different than anything else, hook-up-wise? Do you have it jacked into the Main In? That would bypass all signal processing and selection in the receiver.

There should be jumpers between Pre Out and Main In. Are they there when you DON'T have the MP3 player plugged in there? If not, install a short pair of RCA cables between them.

Describe what is hooked to what in detail. Have you checked to make sure the Mute and Tape Monitor (T-Mon) are NOT active?

Harman Kardon go + play problem

Hi and welcome to FixYa,

Appreciate the direct "Ask Me".

Initially, pls try cleaning the battery terminals. In some instances, it may be necessary to scrape them to remove corrosion. Still there are times they may have to be bent or stretched to ensure that they provide more pressure to the batteries. Alternately, pls try to confirm that the AC adapter is working by checking for the presence of voltage on the plug/connector with the use of a voltmeter.

Should the above not address your concern, then it is most likely that the problem is internal electronics and the unit is simply going into protective mode. You then have a choice of performing a DIY (do-it-yourself) or seeking the services of a qualified professional.

Good luck and Thank you for using FixYa. Happy Holidays.
