I have a Dell laptop which I bought used. I can't get the volume on the
speakers to go up high enough so I can hear them well. I set the volume in
the control panel up all the way and it's still not loud enouch. Is there
anything I can do?

Did you also check if the other sliders, like WAV(e) were something
above the minimal setting? You probably just moved the master volume
slider. Now you have to set the OTHER sliders for the type of audio
being played. Double-click on the sound tray icon to see the
mixer-style Volume Control panel.

Also remember that speakers in laptops really suck. If you want to have
good audio, either connect a pair of powered external speakers or get a
decent headset.
