Is there a way to improve sound quality and increase volume? Max. volume still stinks.

Don't use the monitor's speakers. It's an awesome monitor, but the built in sound is horrible. You need dedicated speakers

If there is I haven't found it. I play my audio through the computer and speakers.

Unfortunately the highest setting for the volume is a little louder than a mouse fart. You can pick up some pretty cheap powered speakers that will be 1000 times louder then the sound that will come out of this monitor.

I bought a small bluetooth speaker. Works great. The Aura Bluenote. Got it from Amazon.

To my knowledge, no. I couldn't stand the sound, so I just didn't use it. I realize you may not have any external speakers to set up for it, but I would really highly suggest some! Here are some alright speakers that I ended up buying: http://www.amazon.com/Cyber-Acoustics-Subwoofer-Satellite-CA-3602a/dp/B0027VT6V4/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1404297432&sr=8-2&keywords=cyber+acoustic+2.1

Hi! Speaker is not the selling point...just display. You may want to get an external speaker wired or bluetooth.

There is an icon for the volume in the bottom right hand corner. Right click on it and open volume control and adjust as needed.

I did not get that but it does require the user to set max volume in order to start working. Either that or its been a coincidence on several occasions. Don't buy if you haven't yet and save yourself a lot of grief.

I went into tools and set it on amplify.That made the volume a little better. It seems the volume on all the HD tv's could use some improvement. So just play with the sound settings until you find one that is suitable. Otherwise you will probably need to invest in a soundbar. Hope this helps.

Try reducing the output volume. I have to keep mine fairly low. Takes some tweaking

Use the built in equalizer under sound settings..depending on your age...anyone above 30 will start to notice high frequency sound loss. I am in that category. if that doesn't work, try a sound bar. My sound is perfect. Check all your sound settings and notice the different selections...movie, clear speech, etc. Fiddle with those first, then move on to the equalizer.

I have the same problem. The sound is so low and I have the volume up as far as it will go . I bought this for my porch and I do not use it because I can't hear it. I will send it back.

I just bought it & have Windows 7. It works fine except it has a hum that I can't get rid of. I've played with the gain button & the mic volume, but it's still there. Any suggestions?

There are audio settings in the menu, I was able to play with those and get good volume. The TV is at another location so I can't help you with specifics now.

Make sure the green light is on on the speaker and push button for highest setting. Do the same for computer volume.

I'm not aware of any solutions apart from utilizing the headphone out on your audio receiver. With a TV this nice you've got a sound system, right? ;-)

you have to go to the playing now thing on the top of the home page (underneath the google bar) and open it up and go to settings and and mess around with the sound you might have the volume control on. or some of the sound settings might be off.

I don't have that problem! Maybe the sound software needs updating? or headphones defective?

Two things you could consider. 1. Are the preferences on your computer set correctly to input sound? I use a Mac so cannot guess how you do that on a PC but you must be able to. 2. On the EZ software panel, headed 'get the music ready to play' there is a slider to adjust the input sound. 'Gain' (sliding upwards) makes the input louder. Try adjusting that. Hope this is helpful. Mine works really well, so try these tips...

Hi Julie, your volume has to be adjusted. Possibly to the lowest set and then adjust to your needs.

Same as other answers link and flip open. I will also add I used this less than 1 day because the sound was so bad for others hearing me. I trashed it the second day and went with another product

You can customize this in the software. There is a "sensitivity" slider. At the max setting, it will raise the system volume from 0 to 100 in under 90. At the lowest setting, it takes 12 rotations to raise the volume from 0 to 100.
