Increase audio volume?

Archived from groups: comp.sys.laptops (More info?)

I think there's a product that will allow use of laptop headphones
thru another audio device, to get increased volume. Not sure what
it's called, though. Any ideas? Thanks!

It's called an amplifier. There are many but you probably want a
small headphone-specialised one. Take a look at www.headroom.com and
www.headwize.com

To boost the output from your notebook use AC3 Filter(free):

Or the WoW Thing($30):

Thanks, found the equivalent at Radio Shack. It says the headphones
should have 16 ohm impedance. Any idea what the impedance is on the
headphones they give you on airplanes?

It gives you an equalizer. Many movies are not setup right and this
gives you gain and many other adjustments. It works perfectly on two
of my ultra lights. Out of 20 movie ripps maybe one has the gain set
properly. So yes, in that case this control panel won't help with the
volume. But it can still be great for cutting hiss or too much base on
a small speaker.
