Windows 10: How can I boost my max volume?

I've Googled the shit outta this and it's all crap. I need a genuine, tested way to get more volume so that I can liquefy my brain with music.

Microphone boost goes up to +10db max?

It is a practical useable limit.
My mic boost slider goes to +36 dB in 12 dB steps but unusable above +12 dB, with the first slider at max.
Even with noise cancellation/suppression, and echo reduction, still unusable above about +12 dB.
It is a Realtek chipset, the drivers are a mix of drivers from 2013 and Windows updates. It works, I don't mess with things that work.

As that is a more modern Laptop it is probably the useable limit, possibly hardware.

I use boost set to +12 dB which means the max in the main first slider is that, so essentially a max limit.
As a practical test I use the Windows 10 Voice Recorder App. Useful to assess the differing qualities of mics.

 

How to raise microphone volume?

Hi vesvespa, my name is Max and I'm an independent advisor.

I suggest you check your microphone gain level. To do it, try the steps mentioned below:

Right click on Speaker icon (Volume settings) on the Taskbar

Choose Recording Devices

Click on Microphone and open the Properties

Finally, move the slider to choose the level. It will raise the Microphone and Microphone Boost option.

 

Windows 10 maxes out volume sometimes

I got the same problem and installing new software is not helping. I got Asus T100HA notebook. My sound devices listed in the device manager are: Intel SST Audio Device (WDM) and Realtek I2S Audio Codec. As mentioned above, when watching youtube or a movie
on VLC, after hiting pause and play again, the volume is maxed out which is kinda unpleasent for ears especially when I am using headphones. Then /i quickly have to move volume buttons on the notebook to lower the volume. What is weird is that while usually
one click is 2% volume, it is always one click after this auto volume maxing to move the volmy back to my desired level like 12. So that may suggest that according to the volume indicator it is not maxed out and touching the buttons refreshs the setting. Either
way it is extremly annoying. Maybe we should sue somebody for hearing damage?
