3. Letasoft Sound Booster

Ever felt your laptop speakers could be just a bit louder to enjoy your favorite music or movie? Yes, the built-in speakers of most laptops are limited in their output power. But Letasoft Sound Booster makes sure that their capabilities are utilized to the full.

You can boost the volume of virtually any program that can play audio on a Windows PC, to a comfortable level with Letasoft Sound Booster—even if the current volume is at maximum.

But this happens with careful processing of all audio being played as Sound Booster boosts it before it gets to the sound card. Moreover, Sound Booster prevents samples from clipping, thus reducing all major sound distortions.

You can use Sound Booster to boost the sound of a web browser, a media player, a game, or any other Windows program that plays sound. So if a song on YouTube is lacking in volume, or your friend's voice on a video call is low, you can boost it up.

It's also easy to use as you can control the volume with the pop-up slider, as you can see in the screenshot above. Or even assign system-wide hotkeys.

4. Breakaway Audio Enhancer

Loud ads on the web are not good for your PC's speakers, and the audio of some streaming services needs to be cranked up. And what if the recording you're hearing needs a bass boost.

With Breakaway you can change all that and make the audio from any source sound professionally mixed with the automatic adjustment of volume dynamics and equalization.

According to its creators, Breakaway Audio Enhancer dramatically improves the audio experience for all PC users with the same professional technology used by DJs, radio stations, and webcasters.

Using Breakaway, you can achieve greater loudness, clarity, and intelligibility in the audio of your music and videos without the sound getting distorted. That's possible as the software works with audio elements that the ear can perceive—not by a gross adjustment to the overall volume. Low levels are intelligently raised and loud signals are kept under control, all in real-time.

Whether you're enjoying music, watching a YouTube video or a movie, or playing games, Breakaway gives you complete control over the sound.

Breakaway can be resized, docked to any screen edge, or added as a taskbar toolbar.
