Why are my laptop speakers so quiet?

My laptop speakers used to go pretty loud, but now I have them on full volume and I can barely hear it? Why? Its an HP notebook and I've had it for about 2 years. Is there anything I can do to fix it? Its really annoyyyinnnngg.

start>settings>controlpanel>sounds audio devices>speaker settings>volume
if there isnt a +10db option, try moving the sliders up to full

I already looked there and everything is at full volume :/. This is so odd.

too much gabba? maybe you blew the speakers... if you can or know how to take it apart it might be worth sticking a vac*** in there as if its old its probably clogged with dust etc which might be related. what sound card do you have?

Oh man if I start taking things apart it never ends well. It's probably the dust thing then, my house is always dusty

. I have no idea about the sound card. You are lovely for trying to help.
