It’s a suitable option to customize your sound experience as well. Not only this, you can even add multiple sound effects that will help you raise your device volume by over 100%.

Method 2. Volume in browser 

Well, sometimes users want to enhance audio from a specific browser tab or web page like YouTube. For such scenarios, you need to use a browser extension. For demonstration purposes, we are using a free Chrome extension:

Method 4. Sound within a media player 

Be it a video file or a music file, anything that you play inside your media player, offers a wide range of built-in volume level settings. This helps users to enjoy a customized experience while watching or listening to a multimedia file.

Some media players even provide an opportunity to tweak the settings and increase max volume on Windows 11. One of the most popular players is VLC Media, since it helps users to go beyond the default volume levels. Follow the instructions provided below:

Method 5. Disable automatic adjustments 

Well, every time your computer detects that some sort of communication is occurring, it adjusts the volume accordingly. But you can easily disable the Automatic Adjustments settings, which will ensure that audio levels aren’t affected at all and you can enjoy enhanced listening experience. 

Here’s what you need to do: 

1. Step 1. Navigate to the Search bar and type Control Panel. As soon as the results appear, click on the first one and open the Control Panel.
