You can increase the headphone volume using third-party programs and applications or systemically, using built-in utilities (engineering menu) . Let's consider options for amplifying sound in wired and wireless headphones if the sound is quiet. On phone (Android and iOS) and computer (Windows 10 and 7)
The instructions are relevant for PCs, players and phones Smasung, Xiaomi and any other phones on Android/iOS (iPhone).
We do not recommend systematically raising the volume of your headphones and devices (although there are instructions for this below). We also do not recommend listening to headphones at high volume for a long time and often. Take care of your hearing!
Not all sound amplification items are required to be used. You should move on to the next one only if the previous one did not solve the problem .
⭐ Best wired headphones (2022):
Adjusting the sound in the system itself or on speakers/headphones
When using headphones with speakers, volume adjustment will be performed in two different places. The first volume control is located on the speakers themselves, where the sound level is adjusted manually.
The second setting is done on the computer. In the lower right corner of the panel there is an icon in the form of a speaker. The user who clicks on it will see a pop-up window showing the volume level. Using the mouse cursor or keys on the keyboard, the user can raise the control to 100%, setting the maximum sound power.
If the adjustment was made only on the speakers, but the level in the computer remained the same, the sound will remain weak. And vice versa, if the control was only on the PC and not on the speakers, the result will remain the same.
If the speakers begin to reproduce sound normally, but the headphones do not, most likely the problem lies in the gadget itself. The problem may also be in the connection socket. If noise appears at the connection point when moving the wire, it means there is a problem with it.
Increase the volume of headphones using the remote control
If the headphones are wired, then they may have a remote control
. In this case, there may or may not be volume control. If the remote control is one-button, then it’s unlikely. If there are several buttons, naturally, we use “+/-“. In addition, for example, gaming headphones may have a wheel for adjusting the volume.
Bose QuietComfort Earbuds - volume control in wireless headphones
All wireless headphones have some kind of button (remote control). Volume control can be displayed on separate buttons, or it can be implemented differently: long press, double click on buttons, or various gestures if the control is touch-sensitive. But it may not be possible to adjust the volume on Bluetooth headphones; you should look at the instructions for all the details.
Checking and setting up the audio driver (using the example of Dell Audio, Realtek)
The quiet sound of the headphones may be due to incorrect operation of the audio driver. If there is no speaker icon next to the clock on the panel, you need to configure:
- Go to the Control Panel.
- Enter the “Hardware and Sound” section.
- Click the link to settings.
- Go to the tabs to configure the sound.
The sound quality is affected by the preset acoustic settings on your PC or laptop. For example, if the “in the hall” parameter is set, the user will hear an echo.
Realtek Manager supports 8-channel audio and has many functions. The audio manager supports motherboards that work with the Realtek audio processor. In versions of Windows, the manager independently finds devices connected to the ports. The type of tabs with settings will depend on them. Also, the interface may differ depending on the driver version or sound card model installed on the PC.
To adjust the volume of a connected device you will need:
- Open dispatcher.
- Go to the “Speakers” menu.
- In the “Main Volume” line, move the slider to the right.
In the same menu, you can adjust the sound effect, specify the speaker configuration, surround sound and select equalizer modes.
We purchase an amplifier, player or other source for wired headphones
If, after all the steps taken, the sound is still quiet, and the possibility of a breakdown is definitely excluded, try experimenting with sources, for example, try connecting headphones to an amplifier
. Its main function, as the name suggests, is to amplify the signal - increase the volume. Perhaps you just have too “tight” headphones (high impedance, for example, from 100 Ohms and above, for wired models), and the source cannot “swing” them (for example, an average phone can give more or less high volume on headphones with impedance 64 ohms and below). Then a suitable amplifier will easily solve all problems. There are amplifiers with the ability to connect headphones to them via Bluetooth.
In addition to buying an amplifier, there is always an option - changing the source to another . If it's a phone, buy a player with a powerful built-in amplifier (and the desired connection method: wire or over the air), if it's a computer, change the audio card (although this is closer to buying an amplifier
