That may be all there is. It seems that new laptops have very low volumes, possibly to avoid people disturbing others in public places. I even wondered if they made deals with the airlines. I know that I wouldn't even want to watch a movie on mine in my quiet living-room due to the low volume.

But, I bought a set of very small Logitech speakers that are powered by USB. For 5-volt speakers, they have very good volume. You may actually need to do something like that, but open your mixer and make sure that all volume controls are moved up.
