Hi, is there any wayto boost the sound volume in Windows 8 over the default maximum? I'm open tothird-party programs to help with this also.

If these are external speakers do they have their own volume control?

I know of no way to boost the default maximum but purchasing eternal speakers is a option.

I'm in an environment where external speakers don't work, but headsets do. I'm actually using a headset right now and at the highest volume setting it has incremental improvement over the internal speakers, but still not at the level I'd like. I'm hoping there's a software solution that can boost the volume further.
