Anyway to increase built-in speaker volume?

[Kelemvor]

Howdy,

The new PCs we are using at work are Dell GX620s. They have a built in speaker and the users don't have any other speakers available to them. Out voice mail system is integrated with email so people can get emailed their voice mail messages to listen to them on the PC. With the old computers, this worked fine. With the new computers, the volume is much quieter and we've gotten a lot of complaints about this.

We have the volume in the program up all the way and the volume within windows is also up all the way. Is there any other way to jack up the volume further than that? I checked Bios and there's no volume adjustments in there. Maybe some utility that can increase it even more?

Looking for any suggestions at this point.

Thanks.

Yeah I know they can bring in their own headphones or speakers but that isn't what they are used to so we're looking for a different solution that doesn't involve any extra hardware. Just a way to crank up the volume more than Windows will let us.

Where are the speakers? On the side of the monitor? In the case itself like pc-speaker?

If they're easily accessible inside the case you could build/buy little power amplifiers, hook them up to a spare molex, pass the audio signal through them...

It's not very good but it's all i got.

It's the actual speaker built inside the PC case. Our monitors don't have speakers built into them unfortunately.

I know Dell do this and they need a punch for it. The speakers are unresponsive to the windows volume controll.

The answer is: Punch Dell. In the face.

Look for the government agencies dumpnig speakers. We get pallets full of them that just collect dust in our warehouse until someone finds a place to get rid of them. Keyboards and mice as well.

You need an amp that goes up to 11.
