I downloaded the wmv file you put in the tutorial as well, and it's the same low volume.
Since this is not happening for everyone, I'll have to try and figure out what's different with my experience.
I didn't want to go off topic in your tutorial so I'll post back here on what I come up with. Derek, if you could convert the .wmv file to another format - e.g. MP4 or AVI - maybe that would solve the problem. I would use Format Factory for the conversion, but I am sure you have an appropriate tool. I really wonder what is going on with some of you.

Good idea, I'll give that a try and get back to you, I have Freemake installed so I'll try that first. | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop System Manufacturer/Model Number Compaq sr5410f case OS Windows 7 Pro 64 SP1 CPU AMD X2 4450E @ 2.3 ghz Motherboard Biostar MCP6P M2+ Memory 4.0 g Graphics Card Nvidia GeForce 9600 GT , 512mb Sound Card onboard Monitor(s) Displays auria eq2367 Screen Resolution 1920 x 1080 Keyboard logitech wave cordless Mouse logitech LX8 cordless laser mouse PSU 250 watts Case Compaq Cooling couple fans Hard Drives 1 tb Hitachi HDT721010SLA scsi, 500 gb external Internet Speed comcast hi speed 19 dn 8 up Antivirus Microsoft Security Essentials Browser IE10 Other Info Laptop specs: HP g7-1365dx /

Went to my desktop and in your tutorial I clicked on the link Macrium V5 0 - YouTube
and sound worked fine!
But on laptop I can't hear anything....  | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP M9077c OS Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit CPU Intel(R)Core(TM)2 quad Q6600@2.4GHz 2.39GHz Motherboard ASUSeK Memory 6GB DDR2 6400 Graphics Card GeForce 8500/512MB Sound Card Realtek High Def Audio Monitor(s) Displays HP w2408 LCD 24" widescreen Screen Resolution 1920x1200 Keyboard MS wireless Inteli Mouse MS wireless Inteli Cooling 6 pack of Bud |

But on laptop I can't hear anything....   Isn't that strange. I really wonder what is going on. I just converted the file to .avi and that works very well (although the .wmv file works here too). Try a conversion and see whether that works on the laptop. Because when it does, I will convert the files before I upload them in the future.
Unfortunately I cannot test this difference here because the problem does not occur on any of my systems - laptops ot desktop. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP, Dell, Gateway, Toshiba - 4 laptops and 2 desktops OS Vista, Windows7, Mint Mate, Zorin, Windows 8 CPU from 1.6GHz Duo to i7 Monitor(s) Displays 2x HP w2207 Keyboard with trackball - no mices Mouse Trackball mice Hard Drives 5x HDD, 7x SSD, 12x Externals Internet Speed DSL 6000 |

As long as I can hear it on desktop no need to worry about laptop.
24" screen vs 17 is a no brainer.

Understand. But that way I have no input to find out what is best to do the next time. If you have a minute, please convert the .wmv to .avi and let me know how that does on the laptop. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP, Dell, Gateway, Toshiba - 4 laptops and 2 desktops OS Vista, Windows7, Mint Mate, Zorin, Windows 8 CPU from 1.6GHz Duo to i7 Monitor(s) Displays 2x HP w2207 Keyboard with trackball - no mices Mouse Trackball mice Hard Drives 5x HDD, 7x SSD, 12x Externals Internet Speed DSL 6000 |

Will try later as I need to get lunch for Donna and do some chores around the house.
Not sure about converting but I am sure there are tuts in here for me to grab onto.

No problem. Use Format Factory and here is my short tut for it: Format Factory on Vimeo | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP, Dell, Gateway, Toshiba - 4 laptops and 2 desktops OS Vista, Windows7, Mint Mate, Zorin, Windows 8 CPU from 1.6GHz Duo to i7 Monitor(s) Displays 2x HP w2207 Keyboard with trackball - no mices Mouse Trackball mice Hard Drives 5x HDD, 7x SSD, 12x Externals Internet Speed DSL 6000 |

I tried a couple different conversions with Freemake and no luck, I'm trying with Format Factory right now.
By the way this tutorial of yours for Format Factory has good sound for me.
Update: Well converting with FF to AVI and adjusting the dB to 36 like Keith mentioned in the tut thread it now has regular volume levels. | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop System Manufacturer/Model Number Compaq sr5410f case OS Windows 7 Pro 64 SP1 CPU AMD X2 4450E @ 2.3 ghz Motherboard Biostar MCP6P M2+ Memory 4.0 g Graphics Card Nvidia GeForce 9600 GT , 512mb Sound Card onboard Monitor(s) Displays auria eq2367 Screen Resolution 1920 x 1080 Keyboard logitech wave cordless Mouse logitech LX8 cordless laser mouse PSU 250 watts Case Compaq Cooling couple fans Hard Drives 1 tb Hitachi HDT721010SLA scsi, 500 gb external Internet Speed comcast hi speed 19 dn 8 up Antivirus Microsoft Security Essentials Browser IE10 Other Info Laptop specs: HP g7-1365dx /
