I’m disappointed about how my stylish Sony VAIO built-in speakers sound so weak compared to my older HP laptop equipped with sleek Altec-Lansing built-in speakers. I used to get my neighbours to complaint when I was listening music, and now sometimes I can barely hear the movie dialogue, even in silence. Not to mention if I try to watch the movie in a crowded train, with headphones.
First I tried a Media Player add-on called DFX, but it’s volume booster was unnoticeable, although its modulating enhancers were good enough.
There’s a out-of-the-box option to boost the volume, too:
- Right-click the WMP toolbar to show the menu
- Choose View / Enhancements / Graphic Equalizer
- Turn on, if turned off
- Move all the sliders to the top
This will give you somewhat higher volume, but in some cases it may be too distorted to be usable. Works ok for me, most of the time.
Thanks, helped a lot!
you rock 🙂 ty 🙂
Thanks!
awesome thanks!
thanks that does help 🙂
it worked great
omw THANKS A LOT!!!
y dont i hve this on my wmp?
thank you thank you!
I’ve had to shut off my AC to watch videos and sweat through them because I couldn’t hear them
I didn’t want to go through some process of converting them to some higher volume so I typed in “boost windows media player volume” and this is where I found 🙂
I’m glad that it has helped you not to sweat any more watching the movies. Regards!
simple but it works!

Thanks man!!! Helped alot.
this sucks!
This only works for music,
there is no possibility to change the equalizer frequencies when playing a DVD!
Awesome. I finally got around to try solving my issue, expecting it to be some onerous pain in my ass, instead, you delivered a simple, effective solution. Thanks!
It multiplied my volume by like three four times. I almost went deaf when I started the movie back up =D

Thankx, why I ever thought about it….
Thank you! Works wonderfully!!
Finally, somebody who knows what they are doing.
thanks man, i apreciate it.
Simple but awesome trick… Now the sound is around 500% more…

That “solution” prevents using the EQ, just a flat sound. There should be a plugin to use.
Thnx… it helped me alot 🙂
thx so much
there is no option to turn on the graphic equalizers, how to turn it on
Krishnan, there is a button called “Turn on” when you show the Graphic Equalizers. You have to be in the “Playing Now” window.
Thanks, it helped me a lot 🙂
thank you sooo much this worked wonderfully well!
