Circuit Sword Speaker very quiet

Just finished my build from the last batch of Circuit Swords and everything seems to be functioning beautifully except the speaker is really quiet. Even at 100% volume I can barely hear it, the audio is clear and sounds good, just hard to hear (headphones work fine, but also not very loud). Is this an under powered amp issue? Or is the speaker that was included with the kit just not very loud? And can anyone recommend a good sounding replacement if the issue is the speaker itself.

Thanks in advance for any help.

What are the audio settings you are using?

Also, I found a new speaker helped when I had this issue.

The USB Audio Mixer with the included speaker, and volume is maxed in both the config and through the circuit sword mode menu, the audio is so quiet it is very hard to hear over low ambient noise. I am considering replacing the speaker but don't want to purchase a new speaker only to run into the same issue all over again.

Any suggestions on a clear sounding louder speaker I could replace this with?

Hmmm - Take a look at some of the other forums - there are some buying guides that may be valuable.

Kite's kit included one for me....
