Plug the small mini jack (3.5mm) into the headphone jack of your laptop.I leave the speaker system turn up (80%) and do all the volume adjustments with the laptop volume control.

I think you might have to press and hold onto the + volume button until you notice a change in volume. Simply pressing it continuously does not seem to work well, but keeping constant pressure on it until you reach the desired volume seems to do the trick.

I figured it out (I think) - go into the Control Panel, and click 'Mouse" in the 'Hardward in Sound section' - on the Mouse Properties little screen double click the first tab "Dell Touchpad" once the next screen pops up - click on 'Scroling and Zoom Settings' and then disable zoom, and you sounds be all set (don't forget to appy).Good luck!

Be aware that if you plug an audio source into the audio-in jack - the volume up/down buttons are disabled! In this case, the only way to control volume is via the audio source device (mp3 player, laptop, etc). This "feature" is not mentioned anywhere in the user manual and was an unpleasant surprise to me when I discovered it. I will be returning for a refund.

Go to system preferences by clicking on the apple top left of your screen. Click sound that has a speaker icon. You can adjust the volume from there. You can also adjust sound with the keyboard top right on your keypad

Don, this computer does not have awesome massive sound, but you can (if you have not already) do several things. Within the program or game look for preferences or settings and set that to the highest. But for the system itself, at the start button, lower left corner choose "control panel", then "sounds, speech and audio devices", a window will come up, choose "adjust the system volume" Also you should have a shortcut at the lower right of the taskbar (the bar at the bottom of you computer when it starts up), slide that all the way up if it isn't already. Lastly double click that button (should look like a speaker icon) and a window should pop up, make sure all four sliders are all the way up. Sorry that's all I know to do, my last lap-top had a powerful audio card built in and I miss it. These latitudes I believe were business machines that were replaced with upgrades. Not a bad deal at the price but they are not gaming machines. Dang it!

Yes, just above the gaming panel on the left there are a series of buttons, an up and down arrow, and a speaker with an x. These are your volume controls.

Hi. No, there is not. You can adjust the volume from the computer o other divise.

Not sure what the problem could be. I've not experienced this with mine. There are six (6) buttons on the top of the item. The first two control the volume; one is plus and one is minus.

There are silver colored buttons with icons above them on each side of the keyboard. If you want to launch Internet Explorer, you press the second button on the left side. If you want to adjust the volume on your speakers, you use the three bottom buttons on the right side. I have not played with the others, but they all have a function. I'm too much of a chicken to press them.

I found this review; it's not Dell-specific but I'm looking for a laptop with loud speakers, since they are usually so disappointing. My tiny smartphone has louder volume than my current Asus laptop. http://blog.laptopmag.com/best-sounding-notebooks-good-enough-to-be-your-stereo

On the right hand side, it doesn't show up in the picture. Volume control has a single knob, all the way CCW is off (with a click), then CW (clock-wise) to increase volume. Handy to have the "off" function in the volume control.

Through your computer's volume control. Doing that worked for mine. Hope I helped you. :)

There is no volume control on the speakers themselves. You must change the volume from your computer's volume panel.
