Laptop Sound Very Low
Yes, you may be wrong. Laptops in general are not noted for their volume.
Most are used in places that often won't allow loud sounds to begin with. And then some DVD's seem to have low volume as well, making the problem even worse. If other sounds are pretty good, even if not really 'loud', then your laptop is probably doing what it should.External, add-on speakers are available, of course. I have some Logitech USB speakers that have a great sound and are very loud. But that is not what you want to hear, I imagine.
In some cases, I have demuxed the movie, increased the volume with Mp3Gain, and then re-multiplexed it. But that is not practical as a standard approach.Make sure that you have checked all the settings available to you, like the volume control in the player as well as all the mixer settings (right- or double-click volume icon). Some players, like Media Player Classic, have volume-boosting capabilities (under Audio Switcher in Settings). You can download and install. It looks like the old Windows player, but it is not.

It has many added features and can play nearly any type of media, including Real and QuickTime, so no other players are needed.And, it has the volume boost in its settings.(The settings available to you may be different from other people's. Sometimes different audio drivers include different settings and controls, so you may not be missing any since they could be named something else, or that feature is simply not part of your sound system.).

Laptop Sound Too Low Lenovo
I've got a pretty new Dell Vostro 3700, and I too was very disappointed with the puny volume output, although I knew every possible volume setting was maxed out. I was still having to either wear headphones or sit very close to the machine to hear, and even then it wasn't great. And music.forget about it!
