Is the sound on your YouTube videos less than normal, and do you want to make it louder? This problem can be slightly frustrating if you use YouTube music for parties, classes, or other social gatherings. Fortunately, you can apply a few methods to increase the volume of YouTube and other websites if you feel inadequate.
In this article, we will explain three easy methods to boost YouTube volume.
Method 1: Check the YouTube volume slider
Sometimes, you may have muted the YouTube video or set the volume to a minimum.
So, check the YouTube slider and set the sound volume accordingly. Just click or tap on the slider and drag it to the right to increase the volume and to the left to decrease it.
While you’re at it, check the volume on your device as well, as sometimes it happens that the earphone and speaker volumes on phones are different. You may have been listening to a song on YouTube at a loud volume on your earphones, but the speaker volume may be less.

Method 2: Use Javascript
Another way to increase the YouTube volume is using the Javascript code on your web browser. This can be a bit technical, but we have tried to make it easy for you all to understand.
First, open a YouTube video and press F12 to open the developer options. Now, select Console and then type or paste the following:
var videoElement = document.querySelector ("video")
var audioCtx = new AudioContext ()
var source = audioCtx.createMediaElementSource (videoElement)
var gainNode = audioCtx.createGain ()
gainNode.gain.value = 2
source.connect (gainNode)
gainNode.connect (audioCtx.destination)
Now, press Enter, and you’ll notice an increase in volume. Notice that we have set the gainNode.gain.value to 2. This means that the volume will double. You can set it to 3 or 4 to further increase the volume.
One thing to note is that you must enter the code again every time you start YouTube afresh.

Head to the link and click Add to Chrome to add and use the extension easily.
Thus, using the three methods listed above, you can easily make YouTube videos louder and enjoy them to the fullest.
