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.

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.
Here you can find some useful information about how to increase volume above maximum. There are described several ways how to do it.
