Make my audio louder Ubuntu 14.04
You can increase volume by cliciking "Allow more that 100% at
System Settings -> Sound
Since you have yet to reply to @Fabby with the requested post edit on yr hw info, I just will assume you use a PulseAudio sound server on your Trusty Tahr...
In that config you can use pactl
. (Please lookup man pactl
in the terminal). From the man page:
DESCRIPTION
pactl can be used to issue control commands to the PulseAudio sound server.
As already suggested elsewhere, using pactl
, you can tweak your sound temporarily or permanently. Before commiting to a permanent change: try it in your session by typing in terminal (CTRL+ALT+T
):
$ pactl -- set-sink-volume 0 150%
and play with your sound controls. If you are satisfied go on to the excellent permanent solution proposed by @Radu_Rădeanu as referenced above. I have not had a chance to try it myself on 14.04.
