Question 
Hi, I'm new to xbmc but so far i like it. There is just one little thing, the sound is really low, and i mean REALLY low. I can hear some audio but not much. It doesn't matter if I use my separate speakers or those who are built in my mac.

I would be greatful for some answers.

A little more info on your setup might help us answer your question. HDMI connection? Receiver? Audio settings in XBMC?

Output: Analog
Speaker Conf: 2.1
Boost volume: (x)
Audio output device: Built-in output or airplay
Play GUI sounds: Only when playback stopped

That's my settings in XBMC, I guess thats defaults.

My mac is from early 2009 so I transfer the video via HDMI to my tv and i play the audio either through airplay or AUX-cable on my 2.1 speakers (no receiver).

You might check in guisettings.xml, search for <fvolumelevel>. If it is below 1.000000, change it to that value.

This is where you would have to change it:
Code:
<audio>
    <mute>false</mute>
    <fvolumelevel>1.000000</fvolumelevel>
</audio>

guisettings.xml is in /Users/YourUserName/Library/Application Support/XBMC/userdata/

I couldn't find the file. I found the XBMC-folder under user/MyUserName/WindowsSupport. I did find a file named BootCamp.xml but it didn't help me very much.

I assumed you were using a mac because you posted in Mac OS X support. I'm sure you can easily look in the wiki and find out where to find it in Windows.

Well that's weird. You must have a Library folder in your user folder? In case you don't know, that is hidden by default in recent versions of the OS.

In the Finder, open the Go menu to see a list of folders. Press the option key and the Library folder should show up. Then follow the path gave you above. If you don't find your XBMC folder that way, you've got something weird going on.
