I find that for some apps, even turning the volume up to 100% on their app or the master volume just isn't enough. Is there some setting somewhere where I can push the limit?

i suppose you're talking about a laptop with built-in speakers.

i'm afraid tehre isn't much you can do, unless the driver/software for your sound chip provides such a feature (e.g. Realtek's Control Panel/Equalizer).

some media players can boost the volume (e.g. VLC up to 400%) but that wouldn't help you to increase the volume for a certain application.

other than that, get a set of speakers with decent amplification, also the sound quality will improve.

That's what I was afraid of :-( – Matt Nov 18 at 1:27
if you have the realtek control panel installed, you can crank up the equalizer, this may help a little. – Molly Nov 18 at 1:28
personally i can recommend the X-Mini speaker, it's tiny, charges via USB, batter lasts about 11 hrs and despite being only mono it sounds amazingly good. thinkgeek.com/computing/speakers/9e68 – Molly Nov 18 at 1:31
