Hi Wolfgang,

So after trying the Vimeo link I still get the same low volume, I tried downloading the youtube vid to see if it would be better playing it on my computer instead of the browser, same thing.

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. Must be some epidemic - LOL.

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....

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.

WHS,
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.

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
