as title! dvd's are just soo quiet, volume slider is set to max, thwe volume settings panel are all set to max and the volume up key (f8) is also set to max but it's still quiet.

Also dunno if it's connected but when the laptop is wired into surround sound theres a constant hissing/background noise/interference.

Any ideas folks?

it's a advent 7110 if that helps?
