In macOS
macOS has no volume boost. The Music app’s “Sound Enhancer” and the “Loudness” setting in some apps help a little, but only inside those apps.
With Tuno
- 1
Open Tuno and allow “System Audio Recording”.
- 2
In Tuno › General, set “Maximum volume” to 150% or 200%.
- 3
In the menu bar panel, drag the app’s slider past the marker at 100%. Boosted levels are shown in orange.
- 4
For all sound at once, try the “Loudness” equalizer preset.
macOS 15 or later, Mac with Apple silicon.
Frequently asked questions
Will boosting damage my speakers?
Tuno uses a limiter to keep the sound from clipping. As with any speaker, very high levels for long periods are not recommended.
Can I boost only one app?
Yes. The boost is per app, so a quiet video can be louder while everything else stays the same.
