I had a problem with my headphone volume being too low in Vista. From what I’ve read on the internet, a lot of other people have had the same problem. On a train, or a plane, you just couldn’t hear any dialog. Well, I found the fix to the problem!
To boost (well, somewhat anyways) the volume in vista, go to the sound options in control panel. Then turn on the sound enhancements, and change the quality settings to DVD or better. The default is to CD, and for whatever reason, the combination of the audio enhancements and quality settings made it so that you could at least hear dialog while riding on a train or plane, if the mixer is set at 100% (which you couldn’t before)
