I saw this feature on a blog about how to fix it using a software pre-amp, but it didn't work and I was told it should no longer work like that: http://alien.slackbook.org/blog/adding-an-alsa-software-pre-amp-to-fix-low-sound-levels/ Here are my laptop's SPECs: [Quote] I also have an Acer Aspire 5738DZG laptop with the following specs: Intel Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU T4300 @ 2.10GHz.
