I'm dealing with a video that has very quiet but intact audio. I want to increase the volume of VLC a lot so that the audio can be heard. In pavucontrol, I can raise the volume of VLC from 100% to 153%, but I need it to be louder than this. How can this be done?

It is possible to increase the 153% volume increase of pavucontrol but this is a little complex and not so easy to accomplish. Easier by far is to actually increase the volume available to vlc itself.

The maximum possible volume can be extracted from vlc by following these steps:

  1. Open the vlc Preferences by first opening vlc and then pressing Ctrl+P
  2. In 'Show Settings' select 'All'

  3. Follow through:

    Main Interfaces > QT > Maximum Volume displayed

  4. Set this value to 300 as demonstrated in this screenshot:

  1. Turn your speaker volume up and enjoy the music :)

Note: See the new '300%' on the volume control at the bottom right:
