Sometimes I feel watching some youtube in Chrome has very low volume even if I turn everything to 100%. Is there any tools can increase volume above the system's maximun? I know IndieVolume does, but that didn't support some of my applications. So try to look for some alternatives. thanks

Are you increasing main volume/application volume/both? There have been times when I thought damn this is quiet and realized I had not turned up the applications volume. – MrStatic Mar 13 '10 at 8:48
OS: WinXP SP3. In my control panel volume control, there's no application volume control. – Stan Mar 13 '10 at 22:21

I really wish Youtube would do some basic sanity checking of the audio before publishing things. Too-quiet audio, heavily clipping audio, etc. It's easy to detect. Why don't they? – endolith Nov 1 '10 at 20:51

[sic]   Um…   I assume that you checked to make sure that both the master volume and video volume are at 100%, but what about the wave volume in the sound-mixer? One options it to download the video and watch it in a video-player like VLC and crank up the volume and/or use the graphics-equalizer/preamp. – Synetech Sep 30 '12 at 22:05

I'm afraid this is a issue on googles end and there is nothing you will be able to do as it is a problem within chrome/youtube itself and not your computer, I've experience the same thing with multiple OS's, always in chrome with youtube.

Install Ubuntu Linux (you can dual boot [aka. duel boot with Windows]), and then open gnome-terminal and do

sudo passwd
sudo su root

apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
apt-get ubuntu-restricted-extras
apt-get install pavucontrol
exit

pavucontrol

And there you go ;)

pavucontrol: PulseAudio Volume Control
