How to further increase speaker volume?

Kemf · 20 Oct 2012

Hi;

How can I increase speaker volume beyond the max settings in volume control?

Thanks!

If you want loud, and I do mean loud, get yourself a Logitech Z506, 5.1 speaker system.

I have one on my machine and it is incredible !

Are there headphones that have external amps? No, I don't plan on blowing out my ears, I have work with some sound files that are so quiet I can barely hear them at my speaker's max setting.

Thanks!

If you have some sound files that are very low volume, an Audio editor will be able to increase the level of those files. I think the free Audacity recording program will do that for you.

Audacity: Free Audio Editor and Recorder

Try this: Right click on the speaker next to the clock. Go to Playback devices, then right click on Speakers and go to Properties. Here you find a button for Enhancements. Maybe playing with those will help. Be aware though that enhancements take CPU cycles.

In particular, Loudness Equalization, if your system has it.
