Increasing sound output on a laptop

Archived from groups: comp.sys.laptops (More info?)

Dear All,

I have a newish laptop, but the sound output from it is very weak (i.e. not
very loud). The only place to plug in speakers is the headphone output.

Is there anything that can help me increase the output from the laptop -
I've had a good route around and all sound volumes are at maximum.

Many thanks

Colin

Are there no software solutions then?
