How to Boost Speaker Volume in Ubuntu and Other Linux
|
|||
|
|
======
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Here’s how you can boost your Laptop and desktop’s volume more in Ubuntu and other Linux distributions.**
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Have you ever felt that your Ubuntu Laptop’s volume is too low, despite you selected the volume to 100%? I’m sure you had. The primary reason is – obviously, laptop speaker output intensity is lower than large speakers.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
In addition, Ubuntu and other distros set the default maximum volume to 100%, i.e. 0dB (decibel). The 0dB is the maximum volume reference. To compare, if you set the volume to -10dB, that means your volume is quieter than the maximum 0dB.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
VLC and some media players allow you to increase the volume by up to 200%. Using some settings in the latest Ubuntu, you can boost the volume to further.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Note**: Before you try this and use the following method, remember that each speaker has a hardware limitation set by its manufacturer. Once in a while, playing audio more than 100% is fine. But continuous amplification to higher decibels may distort output audio & may damage your speaker amplifier in the longer term. So, use it with caution and limitation.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Boost Speaker Volume in Ubuntu and other distros
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
#### For the latest Ubuntu 22.04 and above (GNOME):
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Open Settings from the application menu and go to the Sound tab.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Enable the “Over Amplification” switch. The moment you enable you should see the volume bar is expanded.

|||

|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Now you can enjoy a volume boost to listen to music.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
#### Fedora, Arch Linux and other distros
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If you use Fedora Workstation with GNOME, you will not get the above option since it is an Ubuntu-specific setting. See below.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|

|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
So, for any other Linux distributions (Arch, Fedora, RedHat, etc.) or desktops (KDE, Xfce, LXQt, etc.), open a terminal and install [PulseAudio Volume Control][3].
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Fedora, RedHat Linux, OpenSUSE and related rpm-based distributions:**
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
sudo dnf install pavucontrol
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**For Arch Linux, Manjaro**
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
sudo pacman -S pavucontrol
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Non-GNOME Ubuntu-based distros**
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
sudo apt install pavucontrol
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### How to Use
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
After installation, open the `pavucontrol` from the application menu, it should appear as ‘PulseAudio Volume Control’ as a menu item.

|
### Wrapping Up
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Remember, the above methods boost the speaker volume for the entire system. That means the system sounds and alerts are also impacted. So, keep that in mind. As I mentioned earlier, boosting speaker volume by more than 100% may result in distrotion or damage to the speaker if used continuously.
|
|||

|
|||
|
|
I hope this tutorial helps you to increase your system volume. Do let me know in the comment box if you run into issues.
