Very Low Sound/ Volume When Playing Back Videos.

I have just purchased a V-120 camera. whilst i am quite happy with the picture and video quality, I can't seem to figure out how to get an audible sound. I have turned up the volume on the sound menu, but it is still very low, i can barely hear what I'm saying on the video, the sound is very very low  - I actually need to put the camera to my ear to hear the sound - please help! Also the camera makes strange  clicking noises even when I'm not doing anything - is this normal?
