  • #### Rationale
  • Occasionally, audio from a very useful proprietary application is too quiet to be audible. This is impossible to remediate at the application level because:
  • 1. I am unable to request that the application author(s) implement a method of increasing the volume >100% intra-application, because it has no issue tracker.
  • 1. I do not want to record the audio and manually increase the volume >100%, because that would be inconvenient.
  • #### Query
  • Instead, hopefully it is achievable at the OS level. Consequently, how can I set any and/or all sound channels (especially the media channel) to >100% volume?

How to increase the volume for all audio streams >100%?
#### Rationale

Occasionally, audio from a very useful proprietary application is too quiet to be audible. This is impossible to remediate at the application level because:

1. I am unable to request that the application author(s) implement a method of increasing the volume >100% intra-application, because it has no issue tracker.

1. I do not want to record the audio and manually increase the volume >100%, because that would be inconvenient.

#### Query

Instead, hopefully it is achievable at the OS level. Consequently, how can I set any and/or all sound channels (especially the media channel) to >100% volume?
