Hello,
I have a (half a decade) old laptop Dell Inspiron N5110 that is rocking a gen 2 i5 with 6 GB DDR2 RAM and running Windows 7 Home Premium as it's operating system. The graphics is Intel Integrated Graphics 3000 series. (Yes I agree pretty low tech).
About a month ago I had this problem where my built in speakers were sounding very low volume and I had difficulty hearing anything I could play on Youtube or even any other website for that matter ~ I always almost had to plug in my earphones to listen or watch a movie successfully.
I googled this problem and from the official Microsoft website I found that if I enable the sound enhancement for my playback devices and use the Loudness Equalization feature, the sound of my speakers in the Laptop would exponentially increase and for 4 weeks I enjoyed surfing the web without any problems since all videos had decent volume coming out of them due to the mentioned enhancement.
Today I just found out that enabling this enhancement on my playback device actually increases the sound of the system (so online videos and clicks/ notifications) however any mp3, mp4 or any sort of media on the PC when I run using any Media player (Itunes, VLC, Windows Media Player, MPC) has no sound whatsoever. When I close the enhancement I can play media on my PC with sound perfectly but the minute I open the Loudness Equalization sound on Local Media using any Media Player will disappear.
Any workaround for this problem guys? I need good speaker volume on System Sounds and online video + the ability to play Media locally as well.
