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.
