Retain 400% Volume Outside VLC

Postby livelife » 30 Jun 2009 00:15

Greetings, folks!
I am loving VLC 0.9.9a! A challenge for me is that I have become (very!) spoiled by the 400% volume preference and want to retain it in other apps as well. I have to trust that it must be possible to change the default system volume setting to match it, even if on a per-application basis and I have never experienced any audio distortion at the 400% setting, thus it must be both possible and reasonable, and I am perfectly capable of turning it down as needed. What Terminal command or .plist setting (as two possible examples) do I need to change?
Thanks!!

This is an internal VLC feature which cannot be transfered to other applications. You can only set the system volume to 100 % or use VLC to play your files with our volume amplifier.

The only other solution is to attach you computer to an external amplifier.
Providing logs, messages, configuration info (VLC, OS, Hardware) and a clear explanation of the issue always helps the problem solvers help you, even if they don't end up solving the issue. Just think what you would need if you were solving someone else's problem. Additional: Always looking for eager and capable MacOS X developers to join the VLC team - for more information see here.
