    Hello!
    I have a small problem with headphones, namely when I connect them to a computer or phone, they play much quieter than when I connect them to the TV ...
    Is there any possibility to change this?
    My headphones are Philips SHP2500. I really want them to be louder under the computer than under the TV.

    I am waiting for quick replies
    Thanks in advance
    Greetings

    Then output the signal from the computer to some amplifier (eg from the tower) and collect the sound from it with headphones. Of course, you can also make your own headphone amplifier.

    It is also quiet from the tower ... Only under the TV it works well ...
    How to change it?

    If not hardware reasons (For Professionals info : Acoustic system : Closed Diaphragm : Mylar dome Frequency response : 15 - 22,000 Hz Impedance : 32 ohms Magnet type : Ferrite Maximum input power : 500 mW Sensitivity : 106 dB Speaker diameter : 40 Coil : copper)
    then I would check if you have any 3d, surround, wide, etc. effects turned on in the amplifier / computer and phone.
    Often these effects require additional speakers, or they just sound bad on certain headphones.

    I checked with other settings and nothing...
    any other suggestions?

    And how do you connect the computer to the tower (describe the outputs and inputs and the software configuration of the sound card output)? I do not want to believe that it is impossible to properly control the signal, especially since the other device works properly.

    A good "preamplifier" on the TV on the headphone output?
    Because I don't understand if they play at all? Do they play normally and you just noticed that on TV it's fine? Have you checked on another TV? (I'm skipping the adjustment on the cable)

    now I'm completely deprived of the sound...
    I thought it was the fault of the sound card so I quickly bought a better one because before I had some c-mint so ordinary and now I have a creative sound blaster live, and what? I can't install it, like everything is installed and nothing, no sound or nothing ...
    any suggestions?

    Yes. Learn how to properly install drivers and set up devices. You do something, you don't describe anything, we don't even know if you react to our answers, but you have new solutions, and then questions about "any suggestions". I asked precisely how you output the signal from the computer's sound card, how the card's software is set up and where you plug it in the tower. And silence. Any suggestions ?

    Sorry, my fault...
    I led the cable from the computer through the line out (this green plug), and I connected it to the line in and then nothing. Headphones sound the same all the time. I connected to the TV from the older ones and they also work louder ;/
    I have all the 3D, surround, etc. options turned off on my computer. I have the speaker setting on 2. Everything is turned off, only the equalizer is set.
    I also thought it was because of the equalizer but it's not.

    Back to the card.
    I connected it to the PCI bus, I start the computer and the first thing that surprised me was that the device manager itself did not pop up. I put in the CD with the drivers, I start to install, restarts the computer, and only then it popped up that new hardware was found (which was strange to me). I installed and rebooted. After restarting, there was no sound, and what's better, the computer started going crazy. So I went back to the old sound.

    Ps. Sorry for yesterday's posts

    The green socket is the only one in this model that outputs a signal, unfortunately it is a signal for speakers or headphones. However, by setting its level to low, you can connect the input of any amplifier to this output. If you are unable to measure the outgoing signal level, you can try in situ methods by slowly increasing the outgoing signal (software). Only gently with this increase. Generally, the line signal should be 0.75V, probably the tower expects about this level of signal on the line input. You should also have other inputs, but be VERY careful here, mic inputs are usually signals of a few millivolts.

    Even I have trouble understanding what you wrote.
    I know from practice that headphones plugged directly into the sound card work very poorly, because the headphones need a little more to fully drive than the card gives (I don't know exactly how much because I didn't measure). You can do as I used to, find some computer speakers with a headphone output, connect them to the computer and headphones to them. This output from the speakers has just a higher signal level than the card (headphone amplifier).

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around a user experiencing low headphone volume when connected to a computer, specifically with Philips SHP2500 headphones, compared to normal volume levels when connected to a TV. Suggestions include using an amplifier to boost the signal, checking sound card settings, and ensuring proper connections. The user also faced issues with a new Creative Sound Blaster Live sound card installation, which resulted in no sound output. Further troubleshooting revealed incorrect connections and settings, leading to confusion about the headphone output levels from the sound card. Recommendations included using computer speakers with a headphone output to achieve a higher signal level.
