Increase sound volume in Google Chrome above 100%

When you play media via the Google Chrome browser, for example a film, fragment or online stream. Then the standard volume of your PC is used. You can adjust this volume on the operating system itself, but you cannot increase it above the limit of 100%.

That remains the sound in the Google Chrome browser limited to what the computer can produce.

However, there is a way to increase the volume above the 100% limit via the Google Chrome browser. By installing the extension I recommend for this, you can even increase the sound volume up to 600% of the original volume.

Small disclaimer, be careful not to damage the audio output! So do not immediately increase to 600%, but increase the volume a little bit until you notice that it is still safe and there is no crackling, interference, etc.

Increase sound volume in Google Chrome above 100%

To get started, open the Chrome browser and install the “Volume master” extension.

Install volume master extension

After installing the extension, I recommend “pinning” the extension to the menu bar. This way the extension is always visible.

Click on the puzzle icon in the menu bar. Then click the pin icon to the right of “Volume Master – volume slider” to pin the extension.

Now open media, like for example YouTube or other media and start playback. Then click the “Volume master” icon in the menu bar, and you can increase the volume for this tab. You can customize it for each individual tab.

The extension itself displays the percentage by which the volume has been increased. In this example you will see “280”, which means the volume for this tab has been increased by 180% to 280%.

This extension does not offer additional purchases or display ads. You can use it for free to increase the volume for a tab in the Google Chrome browser.

If it's not what you're looking for, you can remove extension.

I hope this helped you. Thank you for reading!
