To adjust the volume of speakers or headphones, typically you'd use the physical volume buttons on the device for control. However, sometimes the device either lacks control buttons or they're placed too far away from your seating position. In such cases, use the volume control buttons on your computer or laptop. This method applies to computers running Win 7, 8, and XP.
