In short:

VLC allows you to amplify audio up to 400% (200% in some interfaces, but effectively +300% gain). This is not a hardware volume boost—it’s digital amplification that can be very useful for quiet content, but comes with trade-offs. Open VLC → Tools → Preferences (or Ctrl+P

Distortion / clipping

| ✅ Pros | ❌ Cons | |---------|---------| | Saves otherwise unlistenable files | – sounds harsh, especially at 300–400% | | No extra software needed | No true “headroom” – dynamic range collapses | | Works on all audio outputs | Can damage headphones/speakers (clipping = DC offset risk) | | Great for accessibility | Some codecs/OS audio stacks may crackle |
