The speakers found in many laptop computers are small and lightweight, and therefore have limited volume capability. However, if the sound from your laptop is too quiet even when the volume level is set to maximum, you can use Windows to boost the audio. A feature called Loudness Equalization increases the laptop's volume digitally, so you can make the most of your laptop speakers.
