Can i increase the sound volume in my computer (Windows 7) beyond the volume control?

Question

Can i increase the sound volume in my computer beyond the volume control without additional hardware or speakers?

IN windows many Video files i feel sound is very low even after increasing volume to highest level?

Is there any software can increase volume level? I use Media Player classic (Because many video does not work on VLC) to see videos.

Answer 1

I find it very hard to believe that VLC plays less formats than WMPC does... Very very hard. What kind of video's are we talking about here? Since VLC DOES allow you to exceed the 100% volume setting, this would be my recommended solution for you. When its volume bar is filled half way, it's at 100% volume, that means you can set it up to 200% volume from VLC.

UPDATE:

Besides VLC you could also check out http://www.fxsound.com/dfx/pages/overview/index.php?vendor=0&subvendor=0&plus=0&refer=0

This thread of about a year old, but if it's video files you're referring to, such as AVI files, then get the AC3 Filter codec and change the settings. You can change the volume gains of video files to your liking, even if you have surround sound, change the gains per speaker.

Best to use VLC audio volume increase for media files but I'm trying to increase the volume on the Youtube Coachella stream with the flash plugin and my speakers already up to max. This is how I did it in Windows 7.

1. Right click on "speak icon" on the right corner of the display
2. Click "Playback devices"
3. Under Playback Tab, click "Speaker -HD Audio Device" and then click "Properties"
4. Under Enhancements Tab, check on "Loudness Equalization", then click OK

The software included with your sound card (whether it be integrated or discrete) may have an additional volume control. Additionally, some codecs have a separate volume control. I know I have to mess with that option every time I download the acc audio codec.
