It may be that you have the problem that your Windows operating system sounds excessively low and that is something that, depending on what you listen to, can become a real nuisance. Today we are going to show you how it can be solved.
It is clear that we not only use the computer for productive subjects, for fun with games or to surf the web, but it is a device that serves us perfectly as a player of the music that we like the most. That is why when the sound does not reach a normal volume it is something that is quite annoying.
We’re going to have many ways to get the volume to the expected standards and that we can enjoy a good listening experience, something essential today on any computer.
To increase the volume in Windows 10:
Upgrade from Settings
The Windows 10 operating system has certain capabilities that can allow us to fix the problem of low sound and for that we are going to use the Settings panel. We must follow these steps:
- We are heading, as we have already commented to the panel Setting pressing the key Windows + I at the same time.
- Now we must search and click on System.
- In the next window we will see how to our left it comes out Sound, where we are going to click.
- Now we are presented with several options among which is choosing the Sound output device, where we must check that we have the right one.
- The next thing to look at is the Overall volume just in case it is too low so that we do not have a high sound.
- Just below the volume is a button that says Solve problems, which we must press if we continue listening to everything excessively low. Once you have done a sweep, the system will tell us if it identifies an error to solve it.
Let’s use the Volume Mixer
The Volume mixer It is another place where we can go when the sound is not as we want and thus check that everything is correct, since, if we have it low here, everything we hear will be heard with the same tare.
To enter we do the following:
- Right click on the speakers icon that is in the system tray (bottom right).
- Then click on Open volume mixer.
- At that time we will see all applications that we have active and that they use sound, in addition to the volume at which each one is.
- We must manage them so that all or at least the one that interests us has enough power to be able to listen fluently.
We can use the VLC program
A trick that many people use to increase the volume of the sound on their computer is the VLC application, since it is capable of increasing the sound of what we hear up to 300%.
This does not mean that we have to reach those parts, since the higher the level, the worse the sound quality will be, that is why the program comes default to increase only 125%, which is still an excellent amount.
To get VLC to give us the maximum of its sound capacity we must carry out a few simple steps.
- As is evident the first thing is download the VLC app and install it on our computer if we don’t already have it.
- Now we open the tool and click on the menu Tools at the top, to later select preferences.
- At this time we must go to Everything in Show settings, a section that is all the way down to the left.
- As you may have seen, at the top of that menu there are several drop-downs. We must search General interfaces and open it.
- Then we click on QT.
- On the right side we see a lot of options. We have to go down to the end and see where it puts Maximum volume displayed.
- Right now, as we told you lines above, it is at 125. At this moment, each one who chooses how far they want to take it, but knowing that the maximum is 300.
- Then you just have to click on To accept.
Now the moment we play a movie or a song in VLC, we can turn up the volume to the maximum that we have set, which will solve our problems with the audio.
Third party tools
Just like VLC does there are other programs, much less known, that perform a similar task and that can help us to increase the volume in a fairly effective way.
All of them work in the same way as the tool that we have shown you before, so if we raise the volume too much, we will get a lot of distortion. It is something that you must take into account.
Letasoft Sound Booster
This is a highly recommended tool, since it hardly consumes resources from our system, so it can be a great ally.
Letasoft Sound Booster It is paid, although there is a free version that we can use for 14 days. It not only serves to gain volume, but is capable of equalizing the sound to improve it.
Can turn up our volume up to 500% Above what it has, to which we must add a really easy-to-use interface and a system that monitors the rise in volume to achieve the minimum possible distortion.
FxSound
Thanks to FxSound let’s get the volume of Windows 10 up up to 200% than you currently have.
It also has a system of 20-band equalization that will allow us to improve the sound and place it as we like it, but it does not stop there, since it also has effects to put it and incorporates a very effective audio visualizer.
Is a free app which has a Pro version where we basically see several additional and different designs, effects or modes, as well as having the possibility of saving our own settings.
With everything that we have shown you, you will be able to increase the volume of Windows 10 to the level where you like it the most and where you need it, and as you have been able to read, it is all very simple and easy.
