Increasing Output Volume?

Hello all,
I have a 15" macbook pro that I purchased over the summer. I've noticed that my volume doesn't go nearly as high as my friend's macbook pro, and he has an 13" model that is older than mine. Is there any way I can increase my maximum output volume? I have already adjusted my sound settings in system preferences, but there is nothing to make it louder. Is there something I'm missing here?
Thanks

If it's iTunes you're listening to, make sure the volume slider in the iTunes window is turned up all the way, then use the master volume controls (the F10, F11 and F12 keys) to regulate the volume. If the iTunes slider isn't up all the way, it limits the maximum volume that you can get by turning the master volume up. At least this has been my experience.

Need to increase output volume

I am recording a voice over and my audio is coming in at about -15db. After normalizing and using a compressor at about -5db, my levels peak between -5db and 0db. When i bounce down my track to an mp3 it is not coming out loud enough. How do increase the volume of my mp3? My mp3 will eventually be used on a website.

Hi EXP,
Before bounce, go to the "master fader" down, just above the click, select it,
Click and hold on Inserts arrow (or in the word itshelf) >logic express>mastering>choose the style you need.
This adds Gain, ChanEQ, Limiter, PresMultP, in a word, it's great for you to have a knolendge on how to do it.
Give it a try, in your case a only a Gain will do what you need, but play with the plug-ins to ear the diference for yourself or just bypass some.
best regards,
Jorge

Linked media in interactive PDF has low output volume

The link FV4 video in my exported interactive PDF produced in InDesign is practically inaudiable. The the audio in the stand alone quicktime video is fine.
How can I increase the volume output in the interactived PDF?
Thanks!

There are no controls either in InDesign or in Acrobat Pro to change the volume associated with a video file.
I've made many interactive PDF files from InDesign and the volume playing from the PDF is always exactly the same as when I previewed it in the Media panel in InDesign.
Open up the Media panel in InDesign (Window > Interactive > Media) and preview the video there. I'd bet that it previews the same as when you play the PDF file.
There must be something that was done in QuickTime to change the audio.

Output volume

I have to reset the output volume in my System Preference whenever I restart my computer because it reverts back to some default setting whenever I restart. How do I change this setting?

Thanks, your message did help and gave me a little bit more knowledge about the world of sound which is becoming more complex than I ever imagined.
But I want more volume.....
I have tried using the volume enhancer preset (hiFi) from the inserts of the output track and this has increased my volume, but my RMS is still only getting to around -14.
Any ideas on how to get more volume anyone?
And by the way, am I doing the right thing by using the output track to control my final volume output? I have found that the master volume fader on my TASCAM-428 will also define the final level of my mp3 bounces, and that they are basically interchangeable in terms of controlling output levels.
e.g. if i have everything all the way up and then pump my master volume fader on the Tascam to full, my file will distort.
Thanks in advance (hopefully).

Increasing headphone volume in Logic??

How do I increase the volume coming through my headphones via my M-Audio Audio Interface while using Logic? The volume is cranked on the AI unit (for headphones), the recording levels are OK (not awesome), but the volume through the headphones is POOR.
I go through my computer headphone outs directly when using Garageband (and the sound is AWESOME), but can't seem to do this with Logic. Nor can I use the AI for monitoring with GB (not that I want to right now with the volume being so poor through the AI).
Any help is GREATLY appreciated.
Thx!!
J.
Preferred solutions (in order):
1. I can use my headphones through the Audio Interface for both Logic AND GB and the volume kicks ***
2. I use the computer heaphone out for both and the sound kicks ***.
3. I usethe AI sound for logix and the sound kicks ***, and I use the computer out for GB and the sound kicks ***.

open the software that you installed for the M-audio interface (you will find it in the applications folder) ...click on the output tab... there should be volume faders for the headphones...also check if the output routing is correct
Which M-audio interface are you using?
A

Satellite T110-11U - Increase the volume

I have tried everything to increase the volume on my brand new laptop but I have had no luck, I am assuming the speakers are just inadequate. Nice one Toshiba.
I have also tried plugging headphones in and the little speaker icon comes up with and X on it saying 'no audio output device is installed'.

Try this..
Right click the speaker in the 'system tray', bottom right.
Choose "sounds"
Choose the "playback" tab and highlight the "connexant pebble speakers "
Ignore "configure" and choose "properties"
In the "levels" tab, whack the slider up to max
hit the "balance" button and put the sliders up to 100 for left and right
Now on the "enhancements" tab, UNtick everything.
Try it now.
Worked a treat for me, is all I can tell you.
Tinny, for sure - as you'd expect - but plenty enough volume ..
Within reason - you won't annoy the neighbours with it.
Unless you smack 'em around the head with it.
That would work.
Good luck..

How do I increase the volume of my headphones on a MacBook Air?

I'm streaming Netflix on my Macbook Air with Apple EarPods and the volume is too low for me to hear. I went to Sound in System Preferences and increased Output to the maximum; is there a way to increase the output of volume through the headphones?
I have OS X 10.9.4 and my MacBook Air is mid-2012

GNOME3 Output Volume Cap

In the Sound Settings, Output volume bar has a cap bar at 100%, is there a way to set this as the max volume on the sound panel applet and keyboard hotkeys? Right now if I max out the volume via panel or with keyboard it becomes distorted (since it's at a level like ~150%)
To be clear, I when I max out the volume on the sound panel app, or via keyboard hotkey, I want it to stop at the 100% line indicated in Sound Settings. If I want to go over 100% I have to manually increase it from the sound settings. This is how I'm used to it working in the past.

Just thought I'd update that I still have the same issue with sound clipping in gnome-control-center 3.0.1.1-1
Is this still occurring for anyone else?
EDIT: I should note I am no longer using the testing repo since GNOME3 hit extra, should a mod like to move the thread.

IS THERE A WAY OF INCREASING THE VOLUME ON A USB DOWNLOADED WITH I TUNES? WHEN I PLAY MUSIC FROM IT IN MY BMW IT IS NOT VERY LOUD.

IS THERE A WAY OF INCREASING THE VOLUME ON A THUMB DRIVE DOWNLOADED WITH ITUNES MUSIC? WHEN PLAYBACK ON BMW RADIO, EVEN WITH THE RADIO VOLUME AT MAX, MUSIC IS NOT VERY LOUD.

Can't answer the query, since I don't use thumb drives and my volume's very responsive. That said, please don't post using ALL CAPS. That's considered shouting and is very disconcerting.

Whilst playing a selection from a CD I've put in my CD drive, I select Controls and then wish to increase the volume. It tells me to Press Control and then Up. Where is the Up button please ? Thank you.

My question is how do I increase the volume when playing a CD in iTunes. The volume slide is at full, but when I press Controls, it tells me to press Control and UP. Where is the UP on my PC or is it on the screen ??
Thank you.

It means the UP arrow on your keyboard. Depending on your keyboard, it is usually located on the right hand side of the keyboard, either with the numbers keys or below the Enter (Return) key.
However, Control/Up will simply attempt to move the slider in your iTunes programme further up. If the slider is already at the top, then those keys will have no effect, since the iTunes volume is already at maximum. Perhaps your computer's volume controls need adjusting.
In Windows XP, I believe (if I recall correctly) that the volume control is in Start/Accessories/ and either Volume or Mixer. In Windows 7, it's in Start/Control Panel/Hardware and Sound/Adjust Sytem Volume.

Output volume on my MacBook Pro is not working

My output volume on my MacBook Pro is not working. When I go to "Settings", then "Sounds", then "Output", I can not slide the volume bar at all, or change it in the menu bar?

See if a PRAM reset will solve the problem;

How do you increase/decrease volume on an iTunes song? Also, some songs get cut off before they are over.

This is in reference to Follow Up 286560206; under the control tab on "Libraries" the drop down indicates that a song can be increased in volume by pressing ctrl + up and decreased by pressing ctrl + down, but no matter how I try it nothing happens. Also, some songs get cut short, and once I saw an option on how to lengthen the play time on a song, but I can't remember how to get back to this screen. Thank you.

How do I increase voice volume on calls

Can anyone tell me how to increase the caller volume please?

If this is a new phone, make sure that you have removed the shipping plastic off the face of the phone.
To increase the volume, use the toggle switch on the side of the phone.

How do i increase call volume

I just got my IPhone 4S and cannot locate where to turn up the call volume, not the ringer volume, but actually increasing the loudness of the caller?

Hi Folks,
have had my iPhone 4 for the last week. I'm quite tired of people telling me to turn up the volume...it IS all the way up both using the buttons on the side and the slider...the picture tells me it is at max...I'm not deaf (yet) and the phone is CONSIDERABLY quieter than my Palm Pre. There is no plastic film over the earpiece. I have had six people in the last week say "yeah, that's the only drawback of an iPhone...but you'll get used to it." I'm not sure I'll get used to it. With so many skilled programmers out there, you would think with so many questions all over the web, we'd have an answer by now. I will pay the first person to send me a link to an app that actually increases the volume (amplifys the current in-call volume) to the volume of at least the Pre (not that great a phone or difficult a task...lots of music boosters out there, must be a way to boost the volume of the call), not using a head set, not using bluetooth, not using speakerphone: $50.00USD. No joke, this is really aggravating me!!! APPLE, PLEASE SOLVE THIS!!!
