But I would like to see if there's any way I could get it louder since I recently got back into it again. I don't have Realtek or any 5.1 options so those are out. What I have is Soundmax Integrated Digital HD Audio and the driver is up to date. I have my speakers set to 24 bit 44100 Hz. Tried setting fAudioMasterVolume in SkyrimPrefs.ini to between 4 and 9. Doesn't seem to be a difference. Have loudness equalization on. Volume is set to 100% in all cases (in game, Skyrim's volume in mixer, my actual volume). I play with headphones because that's the only way I can hear anything from this game and that's barely. Have I tried it all and just out of luck, or is there something I've painfully missed at this point?
