One of the speakers on my notebook recently died, but my headphones and external speakers work just fine. However, even though my volume is set at the highest level, it still sounds too low, even with the external speakers and headphones turned all the way up. Is there a way to kick my audio volume up a notch? I don't want the sound rattling my house windows, but I don't want to have to have to stick a sound amplifier thing in my ear just to be able to hear my volume. Any help is much appreciated!

You could get a set of speakers that include a sub-woofer. Have you checked the volume levels in your volume control? Maybe they are not set to max. "So won’t you give this man his wings What a shame To have to beg you to see We’re not all the same What a shame" - Shinedown

The laptop probably outputs a 'Line out' signal, which is very low volume and needs speakers that have an amplifier and are connected to AC.
