While I am Loving my new MacBook, I have a little gripe about the stereo speakers in them. I find them suitable only when you shove your ears into them….
After searching the net for a while (apparently, Google isn’t very happy about people “googling”), I found that I wasn’t alone with the problem. Shawn and Anatoli both said that their speakers were very weak. However, some people are supplied with decent ones, like Rob.

Anyways, after reading a few discussions, it seemed that the sound-card drivers provided by Apple are at fault for the lower than low sound. Some people said that the sound on Windows XP when using Boot Camp is much better, and some recommended Rogue Amoeba’s Audio Hijack Pro to get a better kick out of the generic speakers.

So, I gave it a go, and really, what a difference it made! With the right amount of tweaking, I had close to a 100% gain in volume, without losing any quality.

So, if you find yourself pining for a little breathing space around the ears, go try Audio Hijack Pro!
