Audio Boost October 27, 2007

Filed under: Uncategorized — geekyogi @ 12:18 pm

This is for those who want to increase the loudness and decrease quality of the sound for playing movies and songs. Mostly useful for those using lappy..

  • Use DFX Audio Boost to Boost sound in Windows media player, Music Match, Real, Winamp and Yahoo Music. (Here is the torrent link)
  • Use K-Lite, for audio boost go to run and type mplayerc, it will open media player classic, then go to view->options->audio switcher. click ‘enable built in audio switcher filter’, then normalize and regain volume and drag the boost level maximum to get maximum loudness..

N joy..
