    if i'm watching a video or clip online the sound is fine. i'll never reach full volume.

    when i put a dvd in, with the volume to 100, you have to REALLY pay attention to what they are saying.

    why is this?

    is there a fix

    Well, to put i bluntly, laptop speakers suck.

    You should check the DVD program, see if it has its own volume control thing.

    For example, the DVD program may be at 50% volume, even though your external control on the laptop is at 100%.

    ToshibaDude is right on. My Satellite L25's speakers are seriously worse than crumby $10 head phones.

    I'd suggest you buy speakers to plug into your laptop while watching DVD's. Or get headphones.

    i've checked all the volume settings that i can find and they're all turned up.

    i'm not expecting great sound just concerns me that youtube, streetfire, etc are louder than a dvd
