Increase sound volume over 100?
Increase sound volume over 100?
Hello,
Due to my current setup (3 devices plugged on 1 mixer) I have the issue that the volume on my laptop is not loud enough.
On the PC and on the Synth it's loud enough.
I use 1 pair of headphones for all 3 devices.
(3 in, 1 out)
Because I had some strange noises I had to buy some ground loop/mass filters.
For this reason the sound volume is not as loud as before.
I bought a Soundblaster Play 3 usb card,
But Problem is that on the laptop I don't have Admin rights.
The volume was the same using the default drivers, so the card is practically useless and I unplugged it again.
For Firefox I found an add on which increases volume for each tab which works super.
I am sceptical about MS Teams though.
I was looking for some EQs but so far it didn't work.
Can you recommend me something?
Or is there some kind of "hack" to boost the windows volume?
Thanks for any help and best regards

Hello,
Well, I just solved the issue by using my old USB audio interface.
There I just increased gain to maximum, and now it's pretty fine for all applications.
If anyone has a more elegant solution, feel free to post it.
BTW I goggled for aux amplifier, and the prices are ridiculous high.
For me it would be enough some device which has 1 USB port (for power), 1 aux in and 1 aux out - nothing more.
Or some software solution.
Cheers!

Thanks for the funny video.
I solved the issue by using an AMP usb amplifer (don't need the USB audio interface anymore).
And by using some anti noise filters (because I have multiple devices on my mixer), there is no more noise and all devices are loud enough.
Cheers!

But this will not work in MS Teams if your team colleagues are too silent
Btw I stopped using YouTube anyway because the ads made me crazy.
I just downloaded all the music.

Media Player Classic has these two [local] options
View > Options > Internal Filters Audio Switcher > Normalize
View > Options > Internal Filters Audio Switcher > Boost
Windows has [global] feature of
Settings > System > Sound > Sound Control Panel > Sound > [DEVICE] > Properties > Enhancements > Loudness Equalization
but it sucks
I personally had been using [globally] Smart Volume feature in Sound Blaster X-Fi Surround 5.1 Pro for ~15 years and now doing the same in Sound Blaster X3
And so far I have not found an alternative software solution for achieving a real time / on the fly sound normalization. [Thus I live in fear of waking up one day without it due to hardware malfunction]

One could use Equalizer APO (A system-wide equalizer for Windows 7 / 8 / 8.1 / 10 / 11)
After installation just the following two line in config/config.txt increases my USB powered 3 Watt SoundBar volume to about 400%.
I do use my own front-end to equalize output (AHK v2.0):
EqLizr() : 31 band GEQ / Equalizer APO front-end.

Code: Select all
Channel: all
Preamp: 10.0 dB
