The problem of quiet sound reproduction is most often encountered by laptop users. This fact is very sad, because because of this nuance it is impossible to fully enjoy, for example, watching a movie. Fortunately, today there are various ways to increase the volume of playable files.
The article will discuss what kind of programs there are to increase sound. Their features and installation method will be affected. Also, regular Windows tools will fall into the discussion. All this is presented with detailed setup instructions.
Magnification using standard tools
Before you start listing programs to increase sound, it’s worth talking about how to raise it using the usual utilities that are present in every build of the Windows operating system. At least this is good because you do not have to download software and thereby clog your hard drive.
So, initially you need to get into the "Sound" menu. To do this, right-click on the speaker icon, which is located on the bottom panel on the right. In the context menu, click "Playback devices." A window will appear in which you should select "Speakers". Next you need to click on "Properties".
Now another window has opened. In it, go to the tab "Improvements". Put a bird there near the line "Loudness". To save the settings after closing the window, click "OK." Now you know how without a special program to increase the sound, you can increase the playback volume on the computer.
Zoom using codecs
It’s worth mentioning right away that this method will be useful only to those users who installed the K-lite codec pack codecs.
To add volume to playable files, you need to start them initially using K-lite kodec. Once you do this, icons will be added to the system tray. At the moment, only one is needed - one that is blue. It is he who is responsible for playing the audio track.
So, click on it twice so that the settings window appears. In it, we go to the Volume tab and immediately put the birds in front of Volum, Normalize, Regain volume and Show current volume levels. Also move the Master volume slider to the 300% mark.
Here is another way for you to raise decibels on a computer without a third-party program to increase sound.
Program Zoom
Now let's talk about which program to increase the sound on a laptop will allow you to fully enjoy playing video or audio. This article will be an example of SoundBooster, however, on the Internet, there are a huge number of such programs. By the way, this method can be used together with the first one, the sound in this case will become even louder.
So, you need to download this program first. The easiest way is to drive its name into any search engine and download from the first source.
So that you do not lose time, we list the system requirements of the software:
- CPU (processor) - 1.0 GHz;
- memory (RAM) - 256 MB;
- free disk space - 10 MB;
- OS - Windows above XP.
As you can see, the system requirements are minimal, so this software will work on almost any laptop. It is also worth making a small remark: do not increase the volume of the speakers too much, this may lead to their breakdown or deterioration of playback quality.
Magnification with turntables
Finally, we will talk about the VLC player. This program to increase the sound volume fits perfectly. You can download it both on the official website and on any other resource, as it is in the public domain. In turn, the program is able to increase the sound as much as 10 times. The bottom line is that this player has its own codecs that are independent of system ones. The only drawback is that the volume will only increase when playing a file in this player.
