How to make more volume on a laptop with Windows 10

Adjusting available volume

First, consider how to increase the volume in Windows using standard functions. The following instructions are suitable for users who do not face the problems of the lack of a common volume of volume, but simply want to know which way it can be adjusted.

Method 1: Laptop keys

Let's talk about the most convenient way to increase the volume on the laptop - the use of function keys located in a row from F1-F12. All corresponding marks are present on all - find the adjacent keys responsible for adding and reducing the volume. An example of their display you see the following photo.

In the new models of laptops, it is most often enough to press the F-key that is responsible for the sound, but sometimes it does not work and it is required to clamp Fn + key to increase the volume. If you are inconvenient to the current volume of volume control by these keys (do not want to clamp Fn or vice versa), change the corresponding option in the BIOS. This is told in another article.

The second situation is the functions of increasing or decreasing the volume are derived for arrows as shown in the image below. In this case, it is accurate to clamp Fn + arrow to the right to increase the volume. Such a combination is now found less often, because more inherent in the old models of laptops.

What exactly the key is left for an increase in volume depends on the model of the laptop. The best option is an independent acquaintance with icons and pressing the desired key / combination to verify its action.

Some laptop models, predominantly transformers, are equipped with additional side buttons on the side, which are similar to the shape of the speaker swing on the smartphone or tablet. In the following image, you see their approximate location. Inspect your laptop housing for such a physical button, thanks to which you can control the volume.

Method 2: Built-in Windows Tools

If the laptop does not contain keys to change the volume, which is extremely rare, or use them uncomfortable, pay attention to the tools built into the operating system that allow a couple of clicks to increase the sound to the desired level.

Option 1: Volume Controllers

The easiest option is to cause a common volume control and dragging the slider, configuring it to the required level. It appears after clicking on the icon with a speaker on the taskbar, which is displayed there always or shown when opening all added icons.

If you press the right mouse button on this icon, the context menu will appear immediately with multiple available parameters. Now we are interested in the option "Open the volume mixer". This tool is useful in cases where you do not want all open applications to work on the same volume and need some of them louder.

After opening a new window, you will see the sliders responsible for managing specific applications. Drag them according to your requirements or completely disconnect the sound for specific programs. However, do not forget that it will be turned on by hand.

Option 2: Appendix "Parameters"

You can do the same thing through the "Parameters" by selecting the appropriate section in this application, but the volume changes in this case takes a little longer. We will analyze not only the process of changing the overall volume, but also affect how it is carried out for individual applications.

1. Open "Start" and go to "Parameters".



2. Click on the first tile - "System".



3. On the left panel, select the "Sound" section.



4. Make sure that you are going to adjust the volume for a suitable output device. If not, change it through the drop-down list.



5. Adjust the "Total volume" slider by placing it in a suitable condition.



6. In the "Advanced Sound Options" block, select "Device Settings and Application Volume", if you want to configure the volume of each program separately.



7. In a new window, find the sliders related to the currently running applications, and change their position if required.

Method 3: System Player

Many listen online music and switch tracks using the function keys on the keyboard. We show only the approximate location, which depends directly from the model of the connected or built-in keyboard.

In Windows 10, when switching tracks by these keys in the upper left corner of the screen, a small system player window appears for a few seconds, where there is a volume slider. If you bring the mouse cursor and click in a specific place, the sound will increase to the selected value.

Use this method if you often listen to the compositions in browsers or the same Spotify.

Method 4: Signs of Toncompensation Mode

Built into the operating system The function called Tonompensation is designed to align the sound, that is, to play all effects at one level. Sometimes the inclusion of this improvement allows you to increase the overall volume by a few percent, but in some cases it acts on the contrary - when the deactivation is deactivated, the volume becomes higher. We offer you to change the status of this parameter and check whether it will be possible to achieve the desired effect.

1. Open the Start menu, go to the "Parameters" application and select the first section - System.



2. Go to "Sound" and click on the "Sound Control Panel" inscription in the "Related Parameters" block.



3. You will immediately find yourself on the Playback tab, where you need to click on the output device used twice.



4. In the properties window, go to the "Improvements" tab and change the status of the "Toncompensation" parameter. Changes come into force after pressing the "Apply" button.



5. By the way, here you can turn off all the sound effects and check how it will affect the total volume level.

Method 5: Updating Sound Driver

Oddly enough, but the sound driver can affect the overall volume level in the operating system. Some users share their experiences and say that after updating the driver, the sound on the laptop has become much higher and the problem solved by itself. If he has not been updated for a long time, it's time to fulfill this by using the instructions from another article on our website. After upgrading, restart the laptop and check whether the sounds are now playing louder.

Additional laptop volume gain

Not all users have enough common volume of volume in a laptop, so they are looking for ways to increase it. This can be done both with the help of the funds built into the operating system and applying solutions from third-party developers. Some options add a couple of percent to the volume, while others make it much higher, so we recommend using different instructions for selecting the optimal method.

Method 1: Built-in Equalizer

The OS has a built-in equalizer that is added with the sound driver. Its parameters directly affect the transmission of frequencies, which means that they can be set so that the total volume of the volume increases a little or at least it was possible to disassemble the frequencies that were not heard before.

1. Open "Parameters" and go to the System section. Through the panel on the left, move to the "sound" and open the "Sound Control Panel".



2. Double-click the LX for the playback device to call the window of its properties.



3. Click the "Improvements" tab and check the "Equalizer" item if it is there.



4. The "Properties of the Sound Effect" appears, where you should click on the button with three horizontal points.



5. A new window opens with an equalizer sliders. Move them all up, as shown in the next screenshot, and then save the new profile.



6. You can use the built-in workpiece, open the list and selecting the "powerful" option.

While the sound will not change, because it will be necessary to click on "apply" to make changes. After that, you can immediately play video or music by comparing the current volume with the one that was previously.

Method 2: Sound Management Manager

Some manufacturers supply laptops together with the Sound Development Sound Dispatcher responsible for the extended management of them in the operating system. Sometimes it can be branded software, and sometimes - the usual graphical solution from Realtek, on which we will stop. First you need to find this dispatcher in the OS and run it, about the more detailed read in the article Next.

The appearance of such solutions is also different from each other - we took the most common option for an example. If another application is offered for your laptop, disperse in its interface yourself and perform exactly the same changes as in the following instructions.

1. After starting, the required "Dynamics" tab is already selected, where you can adjust the overall volume of the sound.



2. To enhance the volume, if its main stock is not enough, go to the "sound effect" and press the button selected in the screenshot, which opens all the equalizer sliders.



3. Unscrew all frequencies to the maximum, in parallel reproducing any sound on the laptop, and follow how it affects the increase in volume.



4. The selected preset must be saved so that it is automatically selected in the drive.



5. If the sound quality becomes noticeably worse, slightly lower the frequency to remove hoarseness or other manifestations of the problem. You can also try the prepared version of the Equalizer "Powerful".



6. As you can see, for him, almost all frequencies are also increased, but the curve has a slightly different look.

The number of settings in such programs-dispatchers is always different, as it depends on the manufacturers of laptops. Some provide presets for watching movies or listening to music. For example, in the first case, the emphasis is on the voice and increase certain frequencies, helping to better disassemble speech. Experiment with available features to understand how high quality improve the sound with the help of sweater.

Method 3: Software from third-party developers

Let us dwell on applications from third-party developers that allow you to control the sound on a computer, including and improve its quality or increase the volume when its standard stock is not enough. There are both paid options with a huge number of functions and free, where their set is slightly smaller.

Option 1: Boom3D

The BOOM3D developers paid special attention to the tools to make the sound volume, but did not forget about the classic equalizer and other functions intended to improve the quality of the sound.

7. If you need, open the "Equalizer".



8. You can choose one of the types of presets, depending on the type of content reproducible.



9. If you read previous ways of this article, you know that when you unscrew all the sliders to a maximum volume becomes higher. Use this feature to achieve the desired effect.

Option 2: FXSOUND

The advantage of FxSound before the previous solution is that this program is distributed free of charge and increases the volume by about 20% when it is in an active condition. You can not even change any settings, but simply run FxSound and make sure that the sound really intensified.

4. Play sound and listen, whether the volume rose. Change the presets if you play video games or view the video. So frequencies will be more optimized and characteristic sounds will be heard better.



5. Use additional parameters for bass, dynamics and atmosphere, slightly moving the slider to the side and estimating whether the sound becomes higher.



6. Equalizer Adjust exclusively for itself, for example, lifting low frequencies if they are not in time. Disconnect the program and compare with the level of volume that was before it is installed.

Option 3: Other programs

There are many other programs designed to control sound on your computer. Some of them are ideal for changing the volume parameters so that it becomes significantly higher than previously available. If you did not suit the applications discussed above, select an alternative solution from the review below.

Method 4: Programs used

Under the programs used are implied audio and video players, as well as tools for communication, where the volume settings are present. Typically, in all the bottom there is a separate slider or even a number of functions designed to configure the parameters under consideration. Below you see an example of how it is implemented in the VLC player and you can even notice that the volume is adjustable even above 100%. By the way, it is recommended that it is recommended to be used to view movies on quiet laptops.

If you open an additional audio settings, some programs can see the built-in equalizer or templates designed to play a specific type of content.

We show how to control the volume in programs designed to communicate with other users. As an example, take Discord, but it applies to other TEAMSPEAK applications. Adjusting the output volume everywhere is carried out by a similar algorithm and looks like this:

1. Run the desired program and go to the settings.



2. Open the "Sound" or "voice and video" section.



3. Lay off the "sound volume" slider and adjust its position to the desired one.

It will only remain phoned with a friend or connect to an open voice channel to make sure that the volume is now really higher.

Method 5: Browser Equalizers Extensions

If you often work in the browser, it is listening to music, watch movies and videos, the useful tool will be an extension equalizer that allows not only to configure frequencies as we have already spoken in previous ways, but also to raise the overall volume level using just one slider. There are many such additions, so we suggest familiarizing yourself with the list of the most popular in another article on our website.

Method 6: Acquisition of an external sound card

The latter method relates to the users who connect to the laptop speakers or headphones, but still suffers from the insufficient volume level. Most likely, it is connected with a bad integrated sound card, which simply cannot give more decibel. The only solution in this case is to buy an external sound card. You can even give preference to even compact budget variants connected via USB, but it is better to look after something from the average price segment. You can connect headphones or columns to this device and increase the overall volume of volume.
