    Audio too low

    Hey people, I have really annoying problem here.
    So, as I like to listen to Heavy Metal and Dubstep music to max audio volume, everything is so low, like the volume slider is on the half.
    I checked every single configure in my speakers playback options and in Realtek HD Audio Manager, but it's still so low.
    It isn't only in Winamp, it's everywhere, in my Mozilla Firefox, videogames, everywhere.
    How can I increase it?
    By the way I read online like 2-3 forums and guys post thing same like mine, but when they go to playback options, right click properties, enhacements and tick Loudness Equalization they say they have louder audio, but it doesn't works on me.
    Can someone help me please?

    Some questions;

    1.) what system?
    2.) it does not work as in the option does nothing for you or you do not have the option?

    I use Windows 7 and the Loudness Equalization option makes the sound to be locked to the half of my volume when I play song and see for audio at bottom right speaker.

    So the slider itself is locked at 50%?

    Not locked, but most time stays at half when it's enabled.

    Do you have external speaker or something when playing this?

    Can you post a screen of the mixer setup so others can see what is going on?

    This pic shows when Loudness Equalization (LE) is off.

    This is when LE is on.

    This one on again, but with headphones plugged in, because yesterday my cable for headphones got damaged and now only the right speaker of the headphones works and I though It's good to show a pic of it too.
    The only things that play the music to me to hear it are the integrated speakers inside my laptop and my headphones.

    You may want to try the latest realtech drivers as well.

    From the screen shot it does look like a driver is missing or improperly installed why because your "System Sound" with the control up all the way is blank that to me tells me a driver problem. I've just tested mine and when I move it - it pings and shows on the Mixer as well for all the volumes.
