COMPUTER HELP NEEDED: BOOSTING SOUND-VOLUME ON A DELL LAPTOP
Posted on 01/12/2023 9:45:44 AM PST by Hebrews 11:6
I have hearing loss. I get by with earbuds and subtitles, but I could use help. I imagine many people could benefit from this.
I believe it’s possible to boost volume, because I have VLC Media Player, which boosts volume enormously. However, it only seems to work on DVDs. So, I still need help in boosting volume on internet videos and streams.
An internet search yielded the BOOM 3D add-on, but reviews say its Volume Booster only works in Macs.
My laptop is a Dell Inspiron 15-3501, running Windows 11. I’ve searched Windows Settings and Registry Editor for help, without success.

laptop external headphone amplifier
You can get something that will plug into your laptop, and into which you can plug in your headphones, and crank it up.

They come equipped with an earbud jack, a small hole to plug in the earbuds.

you can also get something that connects to your laptop HDMI port, for possibly better sound quality.

I usually have my laptop connected via HDMI to a big monitor and sound system in my office. My old eyes appreciate big text, and the better sound is a bonus.

such a pain those little nannies are who keep the volume at 50 DB for your own safety!!
I got my Dell Lap top plug into a 2000WATT PA system in my living room... 8 - 15” 2-Ways around the room make for great surround sound!!
I long for Jam nights here on FR but they are far and few between anymore since the old bags prefer their lawrence welk tunes anymore... Got my next line up ready to go for the next “In Concert” thread that starts up!!

I’m using a JBL sound bar that the HDMI ARC input crapped out, but it still works and sounds good - along with the wireless sub

Very funny! Never heard that story quite like that before. (Did that guy have a hand in the King James translation of the Bible?) :-)
