Sound levels

[Nexo]

I have my volume all the way up on my headset and it's not really that loud. Is it that my headphones can't go up to high volumes or is it just my sound card. I'm a new to audio things.

double post bro. but check the levels in whatever you're listening to, and also, if you're using an Asus card, there is this:

you could up those two left and right channels, and also check this:

I have a integrated sound on my motherboard (Realtek ALC892 8 Channels) . My headset is Sennheiser H201.

Maybe it's just my headphones

Sennheiser headphones just have a tendency to be quieter then other headphones. adding an amplifier would fix the issue. The problem being that those headphones aren't really worth getting an amp for.

Few other guys think that it may or may not be a tighter/more heavily wound voice coil.

Would a sound card help?

Not technically, if anything, a FiiO E5 or E6 is about as far as I would go.

when you plug your headphones in does the auto sensing pop up a window asking what you just plugged in?

 

If not go to the realtek HD audio manager and find the picture of the jack at the bottom of the window that correlates to where your headphones are plugged in, (it should be green either front or back) right click it and select "connector re tasking", select headphones and see if that makes a difference.  It's like a gain switch for headphones that is digitally controlled on the realtek chips.

I don't see any of that

I have those headphones, and they can get very loud, I would think the issue is with your sound device.  Are you plugging the headphones in the front or back jack?

 

Have you tried them with your phone?

[Nexo]

I tried them on my iPad and it's very loud but on a computer it's low

Have you tried updating the mobo drivers? The onboard could simply be broken if that doesn't do it, in which case a $30 Xonar DG might be the cheapest/easiest option.

[Nexo]

I just built my computer like 2 weeks ago I don't think it could be broken. I also updated it when I installed my OS.

[Nexo]

Fixed it I didn't plug my headphone jack all the way in *face palm*

I should have said "defective" instead of broken. I did notice some audio level changes between bios versions on my motherboard - does your manufacturer have newer BIOS revisions for yours?

Edit: saw the fix, i lol'd

did the auto sense pop up when you did that?

[Nexo]

did the auto sense pop up when you did that?

Yea

[EmoRarity]

Yea

Then it would appear that your problem is fixed? Yes?

[Nexo]

Yup, it's fixed

One question, Why is it that my Youtube volume can go so high but my TeamSpeak volume is so low? Also I figured out that for some reason when I plug my headphones in my iPad the iPad is the to the max volume it's louder but when I plug it into my PC and turn my PC to make volume its loud but not as loud as my iPad. Does anyone know why is this happening? 

[Nexo]

This is my audio setting. 

[Nexo]

I figured it out again, it suppose to be in green. Instead I put in blue.

You can adjust each person's volume in a teamspeak server. VoIP is usually just at a lower dB level than everything else, so don't feel bad if you have to +10dB everyone.

I figured it out again I put my headphone jacks in the wrong port I put it in blue instead of green. :l
