Windows 10: External Speakers . . .

I have a Dell laptop computer, running Windows 10 Pro . . .
I recently bought a pair of, external speakers.

They plug, right into the USB port . . . And, the headphone jack.
I've had external speakers before, so I knew what to expect.

For some reason? The sound level, is kind of low?
I went into "Sound Settings". And, made sure it was set at, 100%.

I made sure, the volume control, on the speakers was, all the way up too.
But still, the volume wasn't, very high?

After doing, all of this. Is there any other way, to get the volume higher?
I realize, it's probably unlikely. But, I thought I'd ask?

Thanks for reading . . . Jerry

Adding external speakers

Depending on the built in sound device on the MB. Some support 2.1/5.1/7.1 and also optical audio out. Just plug in the cable that comes with the speaker to it then switch the sound output for the speaker.

1. Sound input to speakers
2. Some high end speakers support digital sound then you would use an optical cable.
3. Sound input to TV using HDMI cable

 

External Speaker Problems with Windows 10

I have a set of external speakers that have been working fine on Win10 for nearly a year. Suddenly, my computer won't even recognize that any speakers are even plugged into any or the audio output jacks.

• I have tried updating the drivers numerous times.
• When I run the troubleshooter, it only tells me to plug in the speakers.
• I can't adjust the volume, because, again, the computer does not believe there are any speakers to adjust.
• I have tried plugging another set of speakers into the computer with no change.
• And, I have tried playing audio from my smartphone on both sets of speakers, and the speakers work just fine.

Really frustrated here. If anyone has any additional suggestions, please let me know.

Thanks!!
