volume settings

[Jo-Anne]

I've taken to listening to podcasts on my three WinXP fully updated
computers. I use VLC Media Player. Some podcasts are so quiet that I have to
turn the volume all the way up both in VLC and in the volume control for the
computer. And even that can be a bit too quiet. Is there another way to
increase the volume for these podcasts? I looked at Sounds and Audio Devices
in Control Panel, but nothing seemed obvious.

Thank you!

Make sure "Wave" and/or "What You Hear" is turned up. Sound card, drivers
and speaker setup, if more than 2, used would be needed to go further.

Thank you, T Shadow! I didn't find "What You Hear," but I turned the volume
up to full on every setting at Sounds and Audio Devices, and it does seem to
be louder.

Google "audio increase" and you will find some hints.
Here is one of them.

I do it all the time on divx movies.
1. use VirualDubMod to extract the wave file from the .avi
2. use VirtualDub to insert the wave file and increae the volume.

Thank you, Harry! I've bookmarked that webpage and will use what you use the
next time I run into audio that's too low.
