Like to watch overseas TV-Programs (mediathek's). It can happen, that within the same TV-Station some Videos are set at such low volume, that I practically have to crawl into my laptop to understand anything.

As far as I can tell, my speakers are at "maximum-volume".

My village computer expert says : "Must buy outside speakers". Is that the remedy or does he just want to sell me "outside speakers"?

Thanks & cheers.

He's right external speakers are the way to go and are cheap......

Enjoy your favourite programmes.

The good news is that they are relatively inexpensive. From as little as 300 baht may be enough for you. But I like to listen to music and films in something like their full glory. For that you need some kind of bass reproduction.

Mine are around 30 Watts RMS, cost around 750 baht and look similar to these:

have you checked to see that the 'media player' volume control and the 'windows' volume control are both turned up?
