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.
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.

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