Allow stream volume booster beyond 200% (up to 400%–600%)

(#4256) Feature Under consideration accessibility

13d agoby Stax

Current problem

Streams or user microphones are often recorded at extremely low input levels. The current 200% volume cap is insufficient to hear quiet audio clearly without relying on third-party system volume boosters or external plugins.

Proposed change

Increase the maximum stream volume limit in the audio settings up to 600%, or introduce an optional high-gain booster setting for extra amplification on low-volume streams.

Platform

Linux

I agree with (at least) user volume boost. It is my favourite feature of 3rd-party plugins on voice software and I would absolutely love for Fluxer to support it natively. If we're worried about the potential loss in quality by boosting the volume too high past its normal level; or otherwise don't want this to be the default behaviour, it could be a setting to turn on with an optional warning telling you of the potential downsides!
