I would like know if is possible to increase the laptop sound volume beyond of the default. For example, instead of you put at 100%, put at 200%.

Thanks very much.

  • That would sound … horrible. The distortion would cause headaches. Either way, some sound cards do allow it. Which audio device is in your computer?

I have this possibility. Matigo mentioned that it may depend on one's soundcard.

This is how it looks like in the standard settings app (alsamixer visible for comparison):

The problem with it is how distorted the sound becomes.

The result is comparable to the effect that's called "clipping", or "square signal".

It's unnatural, absolutely un-enjoyable, but most importantly I have the feeling that it amortizes the physical speaker units incredibly fast. It's like it's ripping them apart.

So, except for when I take a screenshot of it for using it in an AskUbuntu answer, I keep this option disabled.
