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. + +![Boost volume more than 100 percent in Ubuntu][1] + +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. + +![Speaker volume is max 100 percent in Fedora (GNOME)][2] + +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. + +![Increase Volume using PulseAudio Volume Control][4] + +### 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.
