How to Boost Up YouTube Video Volume-Solution

Everyone loves watching youtube videos but many would have faced with this problem of Low Volume in Youtube videos.I too have faced it.Those who have high end speakers can certainly throttle up their controls to experience higher volume in youtube videos but what about those with low End Speakers? A solution to this problem would be as simple as to get a good high end speaker.I have discussed here a simple alternative that i came up with,

We all know VLC media player is the best media player capable of playing many video formats ,it also has a amazing ability to Boost Volume i am sure everyone will agree with this fact and it’s also capable of playing Streamed Videos.

So here’s what we get..

Youtube Videos + VLC Network Streaming Ability + VLC volume boosting ability = Youtube videos with increased Volume


So lets see how to boost Youtube video volume via VLC Media Player

1.Open VLC Media player.

2.Select Media->Open Network Stream
play url in VLC

3.Select network tab.

4.Select Protocol HTTP.

5.Copy required Youtube URL from address bar.Paste URL in address field available in VLC without

“http://”

and click Play button.

For Example:

www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkHm8uUuT0o

not

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkHm8uUuT0o

playing url in vlc

6.Wait sometime for Video to load and click play button again.

7.Now increase Volume by pressing CTRL + UP and increase up to 400%

8.Done.

Am sure you will see difference in volume level between that you hear in Youtube and when you play video via VLC media player.

    from your a little experiment, only VLC can do this? What about other media player? And how about the load speed?

    Many players can Play video from URL but non has the ability to boost volume like VLC can do…Thats the key here..And as far as the load speed is concerned it’s equivalent to how long it will take for your youtube videos to buffer…

    I think the load speed depends on the connection.

    Sham,

    I also find VLC quite an impressive player. However, I didn’t notice it can boost the volume this way for YouTube videos. You bet I’m going to give this a try. Thank you so much for providing the tips. Good job!

    Where do you get VLC media player?

    Tried VLC media player and increased volume to 400%. Deleted the video because of 2 sounds being heard. Tried the VLC download again but could only get the volume up to 200%. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

    Very smart advice, thank you.
    I can not believe that I haven’t done that before!!! :D

    But I found a small problem with VLC; when you place the address and plays streams the standard version of the video (flv format with mono sound) and you have to place manually the interpreters (ex. &fmt=18), this is very annoying with soundtracks and songs.

    If there is a solution for that problem you are welcome to share it with us.

    Thank you again.

    Doesn’t work. “VLC can’t recognize the input’s format”.
