I came across this question about tools that amplify sound in OS X, but they're not free.

Are you aware of a free tool that boosts the volume?


Solution 1:

If you're happy to get your hands dirty and you're a registered Apple Developer, you could use Soundflower to pipe your system audio into AU Lab (search for AU Lab on the ADC Downloads page) and push everything through Apple's own awful AUDynamicsProcessor Audio Unit.
