Skyrim is too quiet

I have a very slight problem. When I play skyrim, I usually use headphones and everything sounds fine. But there seems to be a problem with the speakers on my laptop or something. Is there some way I can boost the sound? I already have the volume all the way up.

 

Another slight problem is that the effects for spells and shouts don't show. I think my graphics card is just too weak (AMD M880G with ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4200)

I found a nice simple fix to the sound. If you go to the sound thing from the control panel and click on properties, then enhancements, and finally select "loudness equalization" it makes it louder.

 

So to review since I just confused myself, it's control panel, sound, (sound device, probably speakers or headphones), properties, enhancements, and loudness equalization.

It seems that, for many if us, the game defaults to a very low sound level.

 

To fix it, open the SkyrimPrefs.ini, find this line under [Audio Menu]

 

fAudioMasterVolume=

 

Raise the Value to 10.0000

Enabling 5.1 Surround Sound while not actually using a 5.1 surround sound setup will make dialogue cuts because your headphones/speakers are trying to listen and playback from speakers that are non-existent. A simple volume fader mod that lets you make it as loud as you want should've been created back in 2012, when it was requested, instead of these asinine mods that are available today. I don't know why now in 2016 there is no loudness volume fader mod.

This finally fixed it for me, thank you so much!

Thanks, it helped me too. 271 hours have been played without your advice!
