400% volume in VLC media player I also knew about the four hundred percent [400%] volume level that the VLC media player can provide. I tried it once just to see the result but I then go back to one hundred percent [100%] because the audio shatters. I’ve also had bad experiences about extending the volume of the media player beyond its normal level. Extending or stretching the volume of the media player than the normal maximum level can damage your speakers just like what happened to my sister’s laptop. Her Acer Aspire laptop is now running on broken speakers after watching a movie with extended volume.

400% volume in VLC media player Asked By Nelson M Cannon 15 points N/A Posted on - I am an application developer and want to develop a audio/video player.

We tried watching a movie on her laptop and we used VLC media player and raised the volume I think above three hundred percent [300%]. While watching, the sound suddenly became garbled. We ended up playing the movie using external speakers which I connected to the laptop because the speakers of the laptop are no longer working. I guess that’s the reason why Microsoft didn’t allow the volume on their Windows Media Player to be raised beyond one hundred percent [100%]. Currently, VLC media player can now only be raised to a maximum of one hundred twenty-five percent [125%].

If 100% is too loud, it's time to reduce the volume on your loud speaker. Then even 75% is completely inaudible. That’s the point!, that the difference between ~50% and ~100% is not smooth; it jumps. It’s like if version 1.0 of a product costs $100, version 1.5 costs $150, 2.0 is $200, and so on, in nice, simple $50 increments.

Then they change their model and make it so that 1.0 costs $25, 1.5 costs $50, 2.0 costs $250 The difference between each version is suddenly extremely drastic. I can’t imagine that you have not simply done a basic test by playing a video with 2.0+ and merely listened to the volume levels at 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%. If you cannot hear how drastically different the volume control is in 2.x from in 1.x (you don’t have normalization on do you?), then I really don’t know how to explain it in a way that you can understand. I have to disagree.

I much prefer the current 0-125% cubic scale over the old 0-200% linear scale in terms of UI response. Then you must be using the normalization or have unusual audio hardware or something. For everybody else, the difference between ~25% to ~100% is just too large and provides really poor control. Users shouldn’t have to turn the master volume up in order to hear the video when VLC is set to 75%, and they most certainly should not have to alter the master volume every time that they need to adjust VLC’s volume (like when a scene changes from loud to quiet or vice versa).

You are free to tweak VLC to your liking if you disagree with the developers.I can’t fathom why anyone would want the volume control to be worse, but I doubt anybody is going to fork it just to fix it. We’ll likely just end up keeping the old version (along with any vulnerabilities), switching to another program (GomPlayer is a good runner-up), or just putting up with the inconvenience of 2.x and cursing it every time the problem rears its head. There’s several threads about the audio issues in 2, and it has been explained that the audio bugs are being worked out, so I’ll keep using 1. Crack For Mikroc Pro Avr. x for now and wait for it to stabilize.
