The Boom 3D audio app is one of the best apps I've downloaded for the Mac in a long time. I have very good headphones, the Meze 99 Classics. So, the audio was already more than satisfactory. Words are superfluous, the increase in sound quality is immediately noticeable. They have somehow managed to increase the sound volume without causing any noticeable distortion.
Each of the 3D settings is great, so pick whichever one suits whatever your are listening too. It'll make the sound more "life-like. Download the trial on their site if you are skeptical. Also, I don't have an affiliation with the company. I just appreciate great sound quality. While this application is seemingly the only one out there with relative competency and as many features, the 3D effect still falls flat with both speakers and headphones, a clear selling point.
The price tag that comes along that too is premium price. Despite of even the screw used is of the topmost quality and packed along with the Mac Operating System, sports a set an in-built stereo speakers. There are in total 2 methods with which the volume of the speakers could be fired up to increase the sound on the MacBook Pro which runs on OS X Mac. What you will see next? There will be a speaker icon appearing on the screen. There also browser plug-ins to which amplify sound when watching YouTube or Netflix in Chrome.
However, those tools can might damage MacBook speakers. I read in some forums that the problem with the low sound level on Macs is because Apple intentionally limits the max volume to protect the speakers. I also used the same video on YouTube and the same browser same version with all sound controls set to maximum. Before trying to use non-traditional methods make sure that the settings on the MacBook are properly set. If they are not then simply settings them properly may be enough at this point.
Go to System Preferences link and click on the Sound panel. In the dialog box click on Sound tab. First, make sure that the Balance is set in the middle.
If you move the Balance all the way to the left then right speakers will be muted. Next, make sure that the Mute box is unchecked. If it is checked then obviously will be no sound at all. You will be able to change the volume in quarter increments and get the precise volume level. While there are multiple reasons for this the two most common fixes when MacBook volume suddenly drops are:.
If iTunes is your main app to listen to the music and podcasts or watch movies there is a way to boost its volume. Start iTunes. This will bring up an Equalizer window where you can either choose a preset the default is Flat or boost all frequencies manually. I decided to do the latter and compare volume before and after with the same music file. When I only increase Preamp to the max the volume did increase by about 4dB according to my app. The sound was noticeably higher and at times painfully so for my ears.
When I maxed out all frequency bands the sound got distorted, but the volume got higher by an additional dB 5dB total. This site uses Akismet to reduce spam. Learn how your comment data is processed.

Thanks for your suggestion, Chops. Real Player is able to download. Not very convenient, but indeed an alternative. Again, as you said, not massively convenient though. After some experiencing, I'm accepting your answer. Until some simple software is available for boosting sound output on the mac, your suggestion, despite not very convenient, is a viable alternative to the expensive software out there.
