I had my laptop for about a month or so. I've noticed that if I crank up the speakers to full blast, it's quieter than my old Toshiba Satellite laptop. When I'm playing a game, sometimes all-of-a-sudden, it'll get so much louder that it actually sounds real good and I don't need it on full blast (since it's still quiet) for me to enjoy the game. I actually have to lower it. Now, does anyone know how to make the speakers louder? I switched the modes to game mode, music mode, movie mode, etc to see if there's a difference and there's nothing different with how loud the sound is.

I feel like it's an Acer setting issue and not me needing to go to the sound profile in control panel and manually boost the db of the speaker.

I have the G9-793-79V5.

Thank you.

    Okay, so here's an update, 2 years later. I was still getting this same problem. Today, I was listening to music on my laptop and filling out some paperwork. My screen timed out and the music all-of-a-sudden, cranked up. I didn't mind but when I woke up the screen, it went real low to the volume I was listening to originally. I got fed up and looked into it. Finally figured out how to make my speakers much louder, without increasing the volume booster, etc.

    1. Right click on the sound icon, on the bottom-right of the screen.
    2. Click "Sound Control Panel"
    3. Scroll down to "Speakers"
    4. Right click and select "Properties"
    At this step, it's your choice what you would like to do.
    5a. Click the "Enhancements" tab and check "Disable All Special Effects"
    5b. Click the "Dolby Audio" tab and turn it on.

    Personally, the Dolby Audio option made my speakers MUCH louder, so I chose that route.

    Disabling special effects makes it louder but the sound isn't as crystal clear.

    To put it into perspective, 100% volume on regular settings (stock and with allowing special effects) is the same loudness to Dolby Audio enabled at 40% volume settings. As you can see, it makes a HUGE change for me. Hope this helps others out!
