Have you ever tried watching a YouTube video, and the sound was so low you couldn’t hear anything? Even when putting your device’s volume at the maximum? We’ve all been in these infuriating situations where your in-built speakers, external speakers, or headphones limit the sound, and in many cases, the videos or audio we want to watch is just too soft. What can we do in these situations? Volume Booster extension for Chrome can help.
Volume Booster is an extension for Chrome browsers that allow you to maximize the sound of video and audio files by up to 600%. Now, we’ll see how to start using this add-on to maximize the sound quality on different platforms such as YouTube, Spotify, Vimeo, and more.
What influences sound quality and volume?
There are a few different factors that affect the sound quality and volume of videos and audio. One of these is the format that the files are uploaded in. Some formats support higher quality audio, whereas others compress the file size to make it easier to share, which affects the content’s quality and volume.
Another contributor that affects volume is the volume of the video or audio recorded. YouTube and other platforms usually have a handy tool to show you if your audio is within an acceptable (good quality) range before uploading.
However, if you record at a very low volume, it can be difficult to change, and many individuals end up uploading videos with soft audio quality. The hardware you’re using can also affect the volume. Cheaper devices and headphones often have a much lower volume than their more expensive counterparts.
