I thought it was just me and being hard of hearing....but does anyone else have problems with the volume their Sentia puts out. I have it turned all the way up and I can still only hear it if it is quiet in the room. Any suggestions?

check the PC speaker and the wave levels and make sure that they're all the way up, the sound on my sentia pretty damn loud

Yeah I have checked all of those and everything is maxed out. I guess I should call tech support. I just hate to risk sending it back in...Anybody else have any ideas what might be wrong?

How is the volume using headphones? If the volume is soft there then I would try uninstalling the audio driver (software) and reinstalling it. I had problems with the delivered "tested" alienware windows xp install so I did my own and installed the audio drivers afterwords.

Well I hadn't thought of that. The sound level is the same through headphones. I have a pair of powered speakers I have had to start using when I want to hear a movie or anything like that. The thing I hate is having to pull all that out and mess with cords just so I can hear it. Even with the speakers maxed out it is still rather quiet. I mostly do this when I am doing laundry at night where I work. The industrial machines are loud but not that loud. I will try the driver thing and see what it does. Anyone else that has ideas feel free to let me hear 'em.
