Is there a tweak that allows me to boost the volume above 100% without having to go to System Settings
-> Sound
every time?
r3bl's answer does not work on the latest version of Elementary OS
Essentially what you need to do now is:
- Install
dconf-editor
- Run dconf-editor as YOUR user, NOT sudo / root
- Navigate to
/io/elementary/desktop/wingpanel/sound/max-volume
- Toggle
Use Defaults
toFalse
- Change max to number of your choice
- Navigate to
/org/gnome/desktop/sound
- Toggle
Use Defaults
toFalse
- Make current value
True
(this seems to allow the use of the keyboard shortcuts for volume) - Exit
Hope this helps!
Surprisingly, yes!
First, open up dconf-editor
(if you don't have it yet, you can install it with sudo apt-get install dconf-editor
).
Then, navigate through com
-> ubuntu
-> sound
and enable the allow-amplified-volume
option.
By doing so, you'll be able to increase the volume above 100% by using the Wingpanel's sound indicator. However, you still won't be be able to use the multimedia keys on your keyboard to go above 100%.
