Low audio output following Windows 7 reinstallation

Hello

I installed an SSD today following which I did a clean installation of Windows 7 Pro x64 and all the necessary drivers. I also installed all the updates that came following the reinstallation of windows

My config is as follows:-

AMD FX 6100
Gigabyte - GA-LMT-USB3 Mobo
Corsair Vengeance - 8 GB DDR3
Crucial MX100 - 256 GB SSD
Seagate - 160 GB + 500 GB HDD

My onboard audio card is that of Realtek

I installed the RealTek HD sound drivers from the Gigabyte drivers CD and also downloaded a fresh new copy from the realtek website, but still my audio output is about 30% lower than it previously was.

Please advise how I can get the audio levels back up to where it was before the Windows installation


Many thanks

Hi Matts

Thanks for your response. Yes, I did check all the settings under playback control and ensured they're just fine

I uninstalled and reinstalled the latest driver from RealTek and disabled Loudness Equalization and now it seems the audio is just about right.

Regards

I found that by switching off the dolby enhancements in the speaker properties, it greatly increased the volume!

I don't seem to have dolby enhancements in the speaker properties and also I think the sound has gotten low again

I enabled boost in my GOM player audio settings and that increased the volume quite a bit

Happy now :)
