If you wonder how to increase the volume in Windows 10 you came to the right place, because the truth is that not everything is as obvious as it seems and with the operating system we can sometimes find ourselves with some stumbles or simply more than one way to achieve the same task and that is exactly what happens with volume.
Sometimes raising the volume of the speakers may not be enough , however the operating system has for you some other options that you can consider to improve or considerably increase the sound level that our computer can emit, so if you are playing, watching a movie or just listening to music, you can enjoy it as you wish.
As we pointed out before, Windows 10 has different routes to manage the same component or control the same feature, in this case we will then know how to do with the volume.
How to delete a folder that cannot be deleted in Windows
Manage basic volume controls in Windows
We start with the most obvious, that although any user can know these controls, it is best to review those first alternatives to increase the volume. In the lower right part of the screen, inside the task bar, we will see an icon with the symbol of a small speaker and when pressing on it you will see that the general volume control of the computer is displayed.
In some cases, if you also have headphones connected, you could then toggle between options to control the volume of both options.
Volume Mixer in Windows 10
If you right-click on the volume icon in the taskbar, you will notice that you can choose the volume mixer option , when you open the small window you will have the possibility to modify the sound of the applications individually, that will allow you to place a higher volume to some and that others sound less independently, that will then give you a more personalized sound experience.
Manage sound settings
If what you want is to go beyond simply raising or lowering the volume, then you can right-click again with the mouse cursor on the volume icon in the taskbar and then select the Sound Settings option , that will take you to the sound section in Windows settings.
There you will see that you will have more controls and it will also let you manage the general level of sound throughout the operating system, just as you can in the control that is displayed on the taskbar.
Device and volume preferences
In the sound settings, you will see the Device preferences and volume of the application below , in the advanced options section. Upon entering this section, you will see that you can change the volume of each of the applications and devices independently, so if you have several apps and devices playing at the same time, you can choose which one is louder and which one is louder. under.
Adjust from advanced speaker options
If you are from the old school, surely you prefer things as they have always been and it happens that in Windows 10 the sound control panel that we have used since before is kept , to find it you just have to go to the start menu, then write its name to find it and after being there go to the option of Hardware and sound, so that you can then find the speaker configuration.
After being in that section of Hardware and sound, the menu that we know will open. You will see that in the left column click on the Sound option specifically .
At that moment you will notice that a new window is displayed that includes all the sound devices that are connected to your computer, for example, your speakers.
Now you must right click with the mouse on the speakers and then select the Properties option in the context menu that will appear. You can repeat the same procedure with your headphones and any other audio device connected to your computer.
You will see that the window for more controls of your speakers appears, there you will see different tabs, there is one of them that is General and that serves to update the drivers if necessary, there is a called Levels that allows you to manage the volume control and you can also turn on the spatial sound.
The Advanced Options are also available here, there you can choose the output format, also choosing different sound qualities, as well as other variants that you can adjust to create a better quality.
Finally, you will find in the Levels tab the general volume and also the Balance option , that will allow you to adjust the output of each speaker separately and thus make one sound louder than the other, for example.
The volume of each application
Now we go with the apps and the sound of each of them, especially if they are apps to listen to music. Each of these applications in Windows has its own sound adjustment system , it allows you to modify the volume and other elements related to the audio output.
In this case, the best thing is that you can verify the equalizers of each of these applications so that you can achieve that the volume adjusts to what you want to achieve in terms of level and quality, so at this point it only depends of the program you are using.
Increase the volume of your browser
Now we are going with a different alternative, which although it does not depend on Windows 10 itself, the truth is that it is one of the many alternatives that you can explore to make sure you enjoy all the possible volume on your computer, but this time it is to turn up the volume directly in Google Chrome.
We started this method with Chrome because it is the most popular browser and the one that is mostly used to play streaming content from the PC, as well as music and in general to enter most of the online platforms.
In order to control the volume of this browser, we can use an extension that will make it easier for us to enlarge the audi or what we are playing, so it will not be a problem to be able to clearly understand the dialogues of your favorite series.
The extension is called Volume Master, it is exclusive for Chrome and its task is very simple, by running it you can control both the volume of what you are playing within the browser, as well as the general volume of the computer.
According to what this tool offers, it has the promise of increasing the volume capacity of your speakers up to 600% , but before doing this you have to go to the Google Chrome Store and add the Volume Master extension.
Once it is installed in the browser, you only have to find the extension icon in the browser and then click on it so that you can adjust the volume of your computer between 0 and 600, that means that what you play could reach 6 times its original level.
If you use Edge, Firefox and any other browser, then we have bad news for you; because this extension is not available for other browsers, so you will have to go to the plugins page of the browser you use so that you can find an alternative that offers a function similar to this, in the case of Mozilla you can try it with a SoundFixer call , which will help you troubleshoot sound problems.
This add-on offers you a couple of controls to adjust the audio on your computer in case it is heard very low and also very loud, allowing you to regulate everything you are playing, including the cases of when it is listening on a single channel.
