    i only had my G1 for a day. And this issue came up. When i'm using headphones the volume is really loud. But if i'm just using the built in speakers its really low. The difference is annoying because i have to keep adjusting the volume level in volume control.

    i listen to music on winamp with the volume set at 1%. When i listen to stuff on the speakers i have to crank everything up to 100%.

    Most laptops have this issue, and it can be annoying (the Z63's speakers are a good example) - it has to do with the fact that notebook speakers are very weak and underpowered, even in the G1, whereas the onboard sound to the headphones doesn't suffer from that problem.

    The only way around this is to get a set of external speakers, which will use the headphone jack and offer a consistent higher (and better quality) volume.

    hmm, this is quite interesting and I can think of one thing. In your system tray you have a Speaker Icon, doublt click on it, and push all the settings to the max.

    Master Volume, Wave, and more push them all the way up, but don't move the CD Volume, infact put CD Volume to the lowest.

    Try that, then try the speakers again, and your headphones.
