WMP Volume issues

[Ronman189]

I listen to my CD's every morning, but have a volume issue. My wife sleeps in the next room, so I have to keep the volume way down. On some of my CD's that means setting the volume at 14 on my PC . On most, it means setting the volume at 2. Not much wiggle room at 2 and even that is too loud at times. The volume on the WMP is set to the very bottom. Can someone tell me what I can do to be able to set the volume to at least 10-14 on my PC and still be able to turn it down if that's too loud?

To adjust volume levels more precisely on your Windows computer when listening to CD's through Windows Media Player (WMP), you can explore a couple of options: 1. Volume Mixer: - Right-click on the volume icon in the system tray and select "Open Volume Mixer." - Here, you can individually adjust the volume levels for different applications. Look for Windows Media Player in the Volume Mixer and adjust its volume level. 2. Sound Settings: - Go to Settings > System > Sound. - Scroll down and click on "App volume and device preferences." - You can adjust the master volume and app volume settings here, which can allow you to control the volume levels of specific apps like Windows Media Player. 3. Equalizer Settings: - Windows Media Player doesn't have a built-in equalizer, but you can look for third-party software that offers this feature. A good equalizer can fine-tune the audio output and allow you to adjust specific frequency ranges to suit your needs. 4. Amplifier or External Sound Card: - If you find that the volume levels are still too limited even after adjusting settings, you could consider using an external amplifier or sound card that offers more precise volume control. 5. Speaker Settings: - Ensure that your speaker settings are optimized. Check the speaker properties to adjust enhancements for better volume control. 6. Audio Settings in WMP: - While playing a CD in Windows Media Player, check the volume control within WMP. There might be an option to adjust volume levels specific to the media player. By exploring these settings and potentially using an external amplifier or adjusting speaker properties, you should be able to achieve better control over volume levels when listening to your CD's through Windows Media Player.
