Any Ideas about this?

Yes welcome to Seven forums Moonbeep.
Go into control Panel/Sounds and see if your setup has some output level settings and move them up. May also be a volume key in conjunction with the Fn key too.

,a usb sound dongle i thought might improve it but have since been told on another forum it wont,any ideas anybody?

As mentioned - there really isn't much you can do. EQ can only take you so far. The dongle wouldn't work due to still needing external speakers to take advantage of any possible sound quality improvements.

Might give this a try as its compact

Hello moonbeep and welcome to Seven Forums.

Just another opinion for your consideration. I'd go with stereo speakers. Most people I know use a laptop at a desk or table 90% of the time. So the speakers can be semi-permanently placed to provide best possible sound. A single speaker just doesn't provide the same quality as dual stereo speakers.
