Adding to the comprehensive advice given by "VanguardLH" ; mind also, that
there is a separate volume control on Media Player (your current one AND
the old "mplayer2.exe" which is still included with XP).

This is in addition to the separate controls for "Master Volume" and "WAVE
Out" controls on the "sndvol32.exe" application (brought up by
double-clicking the taskbar "speaker" icon) that "VanguardLH" noted.

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?
