I have a Mac as well but I plugged my earbuds in and could hear fine on them. Thanks for the tips!
Thanks for the feedback, Mary. Your reference to mac points me in a new direction to get a fix for the sound. Thanks for taking time to fill us in.
I experienced the same issue with my Mac computer in regards to the volume being very low. I will check the blog.
Mary, I appreciate you sharing your experience details. That reference to Mac has me wondering if you are using the updated version of QuickTime ?
Hi Janice
I’m sorry to read that you’re having problems, but I just tested this and it is fine on my machine. I agree it’s not super loud, but it’s audible without me straining to hear. The volume is maxed on the screen, so I just turned up my computer speakers … it worked OK.
For a quick fix, consider reading my written blog posts instead of trying to use the videos and podcasts. If you search through my site, you’ll see them. I suspect that if we are having technology issues, that’s the easiest way to address the issue.
Enjoy the blog!

Your video volume is very low & cannot be heard on a laptop unless external speakers are added. Suggest using a better microphone or video editing software to increase volume.
