Volume Booster Possible?

[kim4u]

So I bought myself a new headset today - for audio and comp/gaming (mostly this) or whenever, eager to try them - I plug it first into my MP3 player, alright works fine, although I need to increase the volume on my MP3 more than usual but fine.

Next, I plug it into my Comp and volume is at max, it's quiet.
I can still hear the sounds coming through but it's about half the volume I was getting with previous headphones (not headset) but since that broke I bought this headset.

I've tried pretty much everything Volume control at max, wave at max as well - everything maxed for volume but obviously nothing changes because those were the settings I had for my headphones.

So I set out to search for a volume booster program of some sort so I can boost the volume on my computer but no luck. So I was wondering if anyone knew some sort of program that can boost a computer's volume beyond usual? hoping it won't affect or kill my comp.

Thanks

hmm...where did you buy the headset? maybe you can ask for an exchange. you could have gotten a defective one.

that's what i would do, is take it back, and get a new one. if that doesn't work, i don't know. i'm not sure of any programs like that.

You can buy a headphone amp.

...still I wouldn't think you'd need an amp.

I'd expect the drivers on those earphones to blow when plugged into the PC at maximum overall volume and wave volume .

What headphones are they?

Maybe you should get a refund.

is the game volume all the way up as well?

get a sound card or new headphoone (pay attention to sensitivty level). volume boosters cause distortion

i would think that you just got a bad set of headphones, or u just need a new sound card

Thats what i'm screaming.

Sensitivity isn't very high. No matter what, you aren't going to get those headphones loud. I can already tell just by your first post and i dont even know the model number. Even if you get a headphone amp, that will only cause distortion.

Sorry for something so basic and stupid but we all make mistakes... did u make sure its plugged in all the way? setting at headphones or w.e? of not get some new headphones?
