Could someone help me? I am running Android x86 7.1 Stable release 2 in my dell inspiron 5378. Everything is working but my sound level is too low. Even if I set android volume level to maximum, i get very low sound volume in apps like youtube and low volume using android. Is is very low the sound, I can not hear my musics and videos, sound in games is very low too. Please help me to fix this if it is possible.

Thank you

Check the output of (within "adb shell" session): alsa_amixer
In particular, any control that looks like "Master".

You need to access your device through ADB (which is part of Android SDK or Android Studio). In order to do that, you need to know the IP address of your device. One simple way to find it is to go into Android Settings, select "About table", then "Status". Once you know the IP address, you can connect to your device with "adb connect IP_ADDRESS". Then you can execute the command "adb shell alsa_amixer". It should print a bunch of information about sound control, e.g. on my device I see:

Simple mixer control 'Master',0
  Capabilities: pvolume pvolume-joined pswitch pswitch-joined penum
  Playback channels: Mono
  Limits: Playback 0 - 87
  Mono: Playback 87 [100%] [0.00dB] [on]

I can then chance the master volume with "adb shell", then within the adb session, "alsa_amixer -c 0 set Master 50". Note that the actual arguments will probably be different on your device. These examples match my device. But the output of alsa_amixer tells me that there's a master control, whose value ranges from 0 to 87. So I set it at its max value. Note that these settings are independent from the Android volume control.

Michael.

No need in adb. Console is builtin in Android x86. Use Android Terminal Emulator or just simple Alt-F1 for internal console.
