Volume regulation

[laser21]

Hi, probably posting in a little bit off-theme forum, sorry for that. Ive got a notebook which does not have a physical regulation of volume output. Its managed by software(Fn+PgUp...) Eventhough when I have windows volume and notebook volume set to full, some movies are very silent, because of their recorded sound level.

Question: is there a prog/utility to raise the volume output even more? The loudspeakers are strong enough(for example when playing music)

Thanks a lot, bye

Hi,

Try PowerDVD 6.

What you need is dynamic range compression. PowerDVD offers this for Dolby Digital I believe.

Good luck,

Andy

Well let's first ask him what kind of movies he's trying to play on his laptop shall we?

Actually it doesn't matter wether you're trying to play DivX/XviD with AC3/MP3 or MPEG2 with AC3/DTS (or in other words DVDs). FFDShow comes with a Volume Normalize feature which is able to normalize every audio format it supports. So all you need is FFDShow (and perhaps some MPEG filters for DVD support if so; included in my package).

This at least keeps you from installing those huge DVD programs.
