    So usually I use a platronics game headset and that works fine...
    but whenever I use my 5792's regular built in audio (Realtek HD audio or w/e)

    its like really low... not inaudiable, I mean i can hear it, but I cant like get it very loud its hard to even listen youtube videos and stuff and I have everythin cranked.

    ANyway, anyway I can make them louder cause its quite frusterating getting overshawdowed by my GF's dell audio output.. lol.

    You mean the speakers, right? It's common for the M57*RU's I believe...and it's a shame really. Wish there was a way to increase volume, but I guess that would require some serious modding, possibly voiding warranty...

    go into control panel and click on the realtek settings, click on sound effects, then choose carpeted hallway for the environment choise and choose pwerful for the equalizer. see if thats any better..

    I tweaked the "powerful" equalizer settings and than saved the file. I mostly gave it more bass.
    Also, are you sure you have surround sound on? FN + 2 turns it on/off.


    Not sure about your volume problem as mine can get pretty darn loud. Does pressing or holding Fn+F6 turn it up for you?

    Make sure that the sound is all the way up also. I dont know how many times the sound has been low, but showing full. Because of Media Player classic.

    Well, I think the problem simply is that the speakers of the NP5793 are too weak.

    Comparing the speakers of my old Inspiron 9400 to the speakers of the NP5793, I can tell you that the difference is like night and day. The I9400 has powerful, bass-filled sound, whilst the NP5793 really has no bass and very low volume.
