Weak sound.
Recently my sound volume (even set up high) is very weak. I've tried all sorts of settings, using the Control Panel Sound Settings, including reset default settings, but I cannot seem to get the loud blasting volume that I USED to get (which often caused me problems in the middle of the night when I inadvertently clicked on something with sound).
Is there anything anyone can suggest (I'm blessed with Windows XP Home, and it's a Gericom Radeon 9700 1780 XL laptop with inbuilt stereo speakers)
