which has the "Preamp" bar that will actually make most any audio source LOUD when cranked up (and I frankly don't care about how that's achieved
) Only difference is that it needs to be able to affect ALL sound output on the puter.
This is a terribly common laptop problem, I'm surprised the web isn't oversaturated with solutions to this...
Because it is not a solution.
Moreover, all the equalizers which are talked about here are for players which send the sound on their turn to your drivers, the equalizers will not work for the sound output of your sound drivers. If you need to equalize the sound of the drivers, you need to look for an equalizer in your driver software itself. If it isn't present, you're out of luck.
Also, I don't see how it is a "common" problem. I never seen a laptop which has too silent sound output. A laptop isn't a discobar, but the sound is quite often more than loud enough. If you're laptop sound is really silent I would check if the speakers aren't busted, or if you really have the correct drivers and really have set up the volumes of all the individual components correctly, or if the sounds you're playing are recorded properly and with a normal volume, instead of trying to totally distort the sound in order to hear 'something'.
The laptop model (Lenovo ThinkPad T61) should be able to play sounds with a decent volume (so this is not a problem of your speakers not being able to play loud enough, it is a problem of what you are playing or how you've set up the drivers, an equalizer is not going to fix that).
