Sound level varies

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support (More info?)

On my Windows XP instlled in a Dell computer, sound level varies from
application to application. I have volumn all the way up, and still can
barely if at all hear some internet sound, ads (one advantage there!),
Quicken, Turbotax, etc. Other items such as MSN games sounds are just barely
audible. But screen saver sound, and sign on and sign off chords for windows
just about knock you out of the room. Anyone have any idea what the problem
is?

Sorry - that just decreased the volumn of those already low, and left the
room blasting sound elsewhere. I have no idea of what is goint on! Thanks
