Can someone tell me what on earth I can do to be able to hear videos on Rumble (and Youtube) on my laptop? I've done everything I can figure to do. This is one of the videos I can't get the volume loud enough to hear it.
I had this issue with a cheap computer years ago. This is a really expensive laptop. I know other people with perfectly good computers have this problem on Youtube. Some videos are fine, others so faint I can't hear them. If it was the speakers, everything would be bad.
Everything is turned up - volume on the taskbar, volume on the sound settings, volume on all apps and volume on the videos. I've gone through the troubleshooter, had it reinstall audio drivers. I've run that troubleshooter over and over.
On this particular video, I could hear the guy interviewing Patel but could barely hear Patel. Some videos are fine, others the volume is so faint I can't hear them at all.
Check surround sound settings. Right click Speaker in taskbar, choose Sounds. Click the Playback tab. Click properties button for current speakers. Check the Levels tab and Enhancements tab settings for any channel issues. What you describe is what tends to happen when center channel settings are wrong.
Other, less likely thought is audio/video codec problems. Windows 10 should have all the ones you need for common media, but some other program may have over-written some of the native windows software. A little harder to fix than a forum post, but you can google "fixing windows 10 audio codec problems" to help get proper instructions.
Good luck, audio problems can be the worst. One last thought... unplug any headphones that have their own audio controls and see if it is still happening.
Hmm. You don't just have a notch in your hearing, do you? Maybe one that just so happens to line up with the general frequencies of Patel's voice? I've heard that can happen. Maybe schedule an appointment with an ear doctor. Get a test. maybe a cleaning.
But why only in videos on Youtube and Rumble? And nowhere else? My hearing was tested a few months ago. My left ear is fine, right ear some hearing loss but it's not like I can hear some things and not others.
Speakers themselves can have 'notches' just like hearing loss. That's why large speakers often have woofers, midrange, and tweeters so when the sound goes out of the range of one then another will take it up. Laptop speakers have awful response.
Another example is my old Logitech computer 2.1 speakers. I always thought they sounded good. One day I found a frequency test and I couldn't hardly believe that between 200-400 hz and again at just over 1000 there is zero ability to play the sound. The things you don't know you're missing
Windows does have application-specific volume. When the browser video is playing, right click the volume button in the taskbar and click volume mixer. The application will only show in the mixer when it is making sound so the video has to be playing when it's adjusted.

Do the videos themselves have their own volume controls, independent of the OS volume controls? Are those turned all the way up?

What browser are you using? Have you tried an alternate one?
The same in Brave and Edge.
Browser doesn't seem to matter. I'll try it on this video.

I have that problem, hearing aide does not help.
3 minutes in and I'm already thinking "Good shit!"
That doesn't happen overnight. Why the fuck didn't Q tell us that in 2017? I guess maybe it takes an ass whipping to get people to get off their ass.
Q isn't Patel patriot, that's probably why?
How many local governments? Sounds like a round about way of saying we are on our own.
Always have been.meme
He was supposed to teach us how to win. Not do all the winning himself.
