Windows Vista Sound.

Hi,
I'm hoping someone can shed some light on the subject, I'm not really familiar with Vista, and to be honest, I was never keen on it but my system came with it so bleh... I've already rooted out majority of existing "problems" but this one is a pickle. Note I have tried researching but most solutions are far too complex.

At the moment, my sound level is too low. On any program or head set I turn up to max and it still sounds very quiet. Those who know me, know I'm partially deaf so sound has to be that bit louder. I've heard that Vista OS sometimes comes with it's volume set too low, BIOS or something.

Could anyone provide me with a logical solution?

Sound off.
