The standard sound from a Mac or MacBook is already beautiful and loud, but there are many people (just like me) who want to turn the volume up a notch. Making the sound louder in a Mac does not adversely affect the built-in speakers.

Increasing the sound volume is useful if, for example, you want to watch a movie with maximum sound, use your MacBook as a speaker on holiday or have hearing problems. Everyone has their reason to turn up the volume on a Mac, MacBook, or iMac.

But how do you turn up the volume without the speakers cracking and the sound eventually failing? In this article, I will explain how to increase the volume in a Mac, MacBook or iMac without damaging or losing the sound quality.

Turn up the sound and make it louder on a Mac, MacBook or iMac

It is important that the volume is boosted in a controlled manner. Not only to prevent damage to the built-in speakers, but also to guarantee the quality of the sound. The quality of the sound is possibly the most important thing if we are going to increase the volume at all.

A mullet sound from a Mac, MacBook or iMac is nice, but if it doesn't sound there is no reason to increase the sound. In addition, it is also nice if you can optimize the sound quality through presets or an equalizer.

With an equalizer you can optimize the sound quality for the style of music being played. This includes a Dance preset for the Dance music style and a Film preset for films that are played on your device.
