when I listern to songs or watch a dvd on my pc (with headphones) it just isnt loud enough. Is there a software I could download that would able me to increase the volume. Volume controlls are right up on my pc.
You can try VLC media player http://www.videolan.org/ After install use the shortcut that says "VCL Media Player (skins)" The volume slider on that player boosts the audio quite a bit.
