    Sounds on Windows


    I am hard of hearing and although I set "reminders" on my calendar, I more often than not, miss the signal. I would like the calendar reminder sound to be louder...actually, I could choose another sound, but they're all very light. Is there any way to make the sounds louder, or can new sounds be added to the Windows sounds? I appreciate any guidance you can give me.


    Sincerely,

    B

    :)

    Good surround sound headset

    I know you say you're not that guy, but stepping into the $250+ range really brings a change in build quality that might have you never having to buy another set. Otherwise, getting 6 speakers with decent sound in a headset is hard, and that's what you are asking for, and I have no suggestions, but just a bump up the list. *Stick Out Tongue Sounds on Windows :p

    Sound Quality

    One thing that sticks out from looking at your "My Computer" specs. You list "ONBOARD 6 CHANNEL (5.1) HIGH DEF AUDIO (AS STANDARD)" which suggests you do not have the correct sound hardware driver. Your motherboard has Realtek sound and the first step is to install the Realtek sound drivers. My ASUS also came with Sonic Studio 2 which is a sound enhancement package. Check the ASUS install disc to see if you have something similar.

    May not be a speaker problem.
