1. Use the Preamp values in EqualizerAPO

As a first step, you may want to check the properties of the speakers or headphones for balance. This can be achieved in the 'Properties' of audio equipment from the 'Enhancements' tab .

Next, download a free utility called EqualizerAPO to adjust the audio values manually. After a simple installation, go to the directory where the program is stored and open the 'Config' file with Notepad.

Here, you can edit the pure Preamp value from the default (usually negative value) to 10 or 20dB. This means you can set the filters with positive increments. Save changes and close the file. Remember, too much pre-amp will cause distortion, so 20dB is enough to help increase the loudest level you're looking for.

Go to ' Speaker Properties' and the 'Advanced' tab . Here, you can change the default format to the maximum value for studio quality surround sound.

2. Use Fx Sound Enhancer
