I bought 5.1 channel headphones and there's no volume control on it, so I guess it's using Window's sliders, and even when it's maxed, it's really not loud enough.

Any tricks to pump up the Windows volume bar ?

Much appreciated.

I use media player classic for watching movies ... there's a volume booster in there ... Smile

I'd like general windows volume booster too ... My laptop speakers don't go loud enough...

The VLC media player solved that problem for me. Movie sound that was inaudible on the Windows player, was loud and clear on the VLC.

seriously winamp fucks up audio codecs badly what's the reason i don't use it. There are ways around it but ive forgot them and cba looking either. Has it always been like that or is it recent?

I have an AC3 filter installed, and with that i can boost the volume to almost any value i want Wink
By default, the master gain can be raised by +20db, but you can input any number you want, and it's not only working with ac3.5.1 audio but with all audio.

You have a problem if it is not loud with windows sliders set to maximum.

If it is AC3 audio on a downloaded file then it's likely you need to tweak that filter.

You should also look into your sound cards settings. Is it even capable of 5.1 audio?
