I've  tried to look at that film but the sound track is  too quiet for me.

I  have turned output volume on my computer to maximum but with no noticeable difference.

Any suggestions, please?

With best wishes and thanks.

Hi MC, 

I've had a check and this maybe teaching the egg thing ... But I'm wondering if it's the video volume setup at the bottom of the frame.  There's the play/pulse, next arrows, then mute speaker, mouse over that, an the time/lapse moves to show volume slider bar and red line as to the level pre-set, all the way to the right, full volume.

Cheers  David

Thank you for taking the time to respond.
 
The volume slider at the bottom of the frame is  fully to the right.

The volume sliders in System Preferences/Sound are set to Maximum.

And it's still too quiet to hear what the speaker is  saying

Thanks anyway.

MC

How's the sound on other videos, is it just this one that's the problem.

Are you using a desk top with external speakers with separate volume control (wife uses speakers for her ipad where it's speaker has become noisy, at times the jack plug may not connect or volume turned down/off) or you're on a notebook/laptop an built in speakers, and contact fault within the opening/closure of the screen.  Then you are hearing sound, it's a little beyond me now as to the reason.

I  haven't tried other films.

I'm  using a desk top computer with an internal speaker. When I  connected a headset, I  could  hear the sound track - but it wasn't very loud.

With best wishes and thanks.

There is the answer, the internal speakers are not very good, get a set of plug in stereo speakers, I have these and get the other side of the coin, shouts to turn it down!

But I  haven't experienced any problems with other sounds from the computer - only the sound track of this film.

And mine, though I have to say that for some strange reason ( I know not what ) it reminds me strongly of 'Pathe News'

Good video though  :)

I have learnt the first rule of woodturning.
The internal diameter should never exceed the external width.
Nor the internal depth, the external height.
Does that make me an expert now ?
