Toshiba laptop: low headphone volume

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

I had recently purchased a Toshiba Satellite P30-RG1 notebook. The speaker
volume is great, but when I plug in headphones, the volume just is not loud
enough.

I have all set all software and external rotary dials to maximum level. My
headphone volume is fine using my other laptop.

It just seems weird that I can blast the volume with the built-in speakers,
but not with headphones.

I would suggest maybe try different headphone sets. Make sure of course
the plugs match (i/e) not a mono plug going into a stereo receptable.
Even so headsets vary in impedance within quite a large range it might
be the one your trying is just missmatched. If on the other hand if
the same headset use to work fine then I dunno!
