More loudness? (1 Viewer)

[Biffi]

How can I get the video (or TV etc.) I watch louder? It is not possible to increase the volume (e.g. by pressing the +-button), the end is reached as shown on screen.

I assume you are using MediaPortal 1.2.3?! and Windows 7?
This should be fixed in MP 1.3.0 Alpha but you can test the patch on MP 1.2.3 too -> https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/attachments/mp_1-2-3-rar.103030/ Download this .rar file and replace the .dll/.exe files with the ones in the .rar. (Backup your existing files before overwriting)
Thanks!

Thank you, Holzi.

Yes, I suppose at least, it is the newest version, download a few days ago.

Okay, all easily done, seems to work.

Many thanks for your fast help and links and explanation.

It is the newest stable version!

As I see now, it doesn' t seem to increase the volume that much, I would need much more loudness (with Aimp, foobar etc. there is much more loudness I have). Might there be another way?

Sound icon in system tray, right click, select playback devices, now go into its properties, there you will find a tab marked enhancements, now select "loudness" and close

Is that any better

Thank you.

I have two loudspeaker symbols in the system tray. Do you mean to change the loudness generally or only the one of MP. The loudness generally on Win 7 is okay and the balance of all sounds here, also, I just want to increase loudness for MP only, so like I can do it for Aimp, foobar, VLC only.

Thanks again.

Those players can go over 100% volume output making system louder, unfortunately MP alone cannot achieve this, using the above setting just gives an overall equal sound, especially if like me have lots of 5.1 surround outputting to TV via hdmi as stereo.

Okay, I understand, so I have to manage it in another way, many thanks for helping.

Of course you ment "fortunartely" since who really would want to have > 100% volume? It will cause distorted audio as clipping is introduced on the highest peaks. Amps have volume knobs for a reason
