Sound Volume not as loud

[dhinds]

I have an Audigy 2 sound card in my computer and I have been recently been dealing with Video codec problems. After all of that was settled I noticed that the volume on my computer isn't as loud as it used to be. Mid range volume used to be almost too loud and now full up is just average sound. I hesitate to fool with it because everything is working so great. I also installed some new RAM recently but I cannot image that having an influence on the volume. Any ideas from the genius pack.

Check all of your cvlume settings, including ones in any media players or applications, plus your speaker volume.

Yes I have done that for all apps, Sound in Control Panel and volume on the Audigy 2 control panel. My speacker volume knob is on max...

Make sure the speakers are plugged in firmly and that the sound card is seated firmly too.
