How to boost RX Audio

David-N5PSM

My windows audio is turned up as well as the slice and the main SmartSDR Volume. Stipp the "PC" audio is sometimes too low.....

Does anyone know how to boost the audio more without installing another app?

David, your max audio volume is at the mercy of the speaker amplification in your laptop.  Adding a set of powered external speakers to your Flex should solve your issue.

David If this is on your LAPTOP then You hit the nail on the head, and as KF4HR has commented some or most LAP TOP built in speakers are really low using the flex, find some USB / Bluetooth or if the laptop has a audio output jack wired AMPLIFIED speakers. 
I have to do that with my ASUS tablet PC's (3 different models) even my Panasonic Toughbooks CF53 and CF54's are a bit to low but the AMPLIFIED Bluetooth speaker work really well on all of the tablet and Laptops.

 Yea Sam has the right Idea.. Go to your RX eq and set to higher levels, this will increase your rx audio by 30 percent and perhaps  that is all you may need. Also.. Make sure your AGCT is not all the way up because it will also lower your volume on band noise. You will only hear big stations with it all the way up so make sure you adjust it. It should bring your RX audio up a bit.. Good luck. On Amazon, you can buy some usb powered  stereo speakers that will plug right in your usb port and plug the other plug in your headphone jack. The speakers have a volume control and you should be all set. I have seen them on Amazon for 11.99. there small enough to put one on each side of your laptop and with the amp inside the speakers that will be powered by your laptop.. Perfection...... Enjoy your Flex..

Volume is not only set by the main sliders on the top right, but also the volume sliders on each slice. Click the speaker icon on the slice and check there. I keep my slices up at 100% and adjust with the main control.

I have the exact same issue with both my desktop computers. Flex PC audio out is very low. And it has nothing to do with Windows, my speakers or anything else. Same speakers and system will BLAST out the windows sounds, iTunes, YouTube or any other source. The ONLY thing that is low is Flex. I have the sliders maxed.  When I am home, I use locally powered speakers physically attached to the Flex, and even those are on the low side. But they are powered, so I can crank them up to where its at least audible.  6300 here.
