And I can't get it back. In the Sounds and Audio control panel its maxed, I tried with two sets of speakers, but the output level is just way way too low, so even maxed its hard to hear and you get lots of white noise.

What other things can I check to see if I can't fix this?

I wasn't installing anything before it happened. Anything else could be killing my volumn?

Thanks for reading. Please help.
 
Audio still works, its just low volumn. It sounds fine, other than that.

its a SoundMAX Digital Integrated Audio onboard sound on an ASUS K8V board.

cables are fine, tested two, no reason they would have both gone bad since last I used them.
 
Wave level. It's another slider, you have to activate it in properties if it is not already showing. Raise that up to max.

its up, thanks for the help. Any other strange slider's hidden around?

edit: it was up, this wasn't my problem, any other ideas?
 
Just a thought, but have you downloaded any other apps that affect volume? I remember with Kazaa a few years back there was some app that installed to Control Panel and affected volume.
 
In conclusion . . .

reinstalled drivers (no dice)

Couldn't find anywhere where I had volumn set low (and I hadn't downloaded or changed anything in a while) so I gave up, decided to put a new card in, but it was past closing time for all the stores that carry that kind of thing.

I had an old Turtle Beach Montego II A3D (1997 or 1998) in the basement from an old old computer. Was a little leary as I'd tried this card on another XP machine with no luck, they have drivers for win 9x, ME, and NT, not even up to 2000, but I decided what the hell, can't hurt, and popped it in and disabled onboard sound

Didn't even have to install drivers, detected perfectly, works fine, even detected as the Aureal 3D system correctly. I'm impressed. Def. sounds better than my old integrated sound.
