HOW TO INCREASE SOUND IN MAC PRO?

Jesus Christ. Go and research the difference between the desktop computer called "Mac Pro" (which is not only the section of the forums where this thread is located, but is also in the title of this thread) and the laptop computer called "Macbook Pro" and pop back when you're done. Ta.

What a bunch of these unhelpful people fail to understand is that it's not about increasing the max volume of the speakers (which can really go quite loud) but increasing the signal of the audio which can be way too low when playing some online videos on sites like netflix.

Apps like boom will fix that.

Hey mate,

Download a program called Boom 2. It can enhance Mac speakers past their capacity.

Cool.

I don't know where you are coming from or if your are an Apple apologist, but when and ordinary person purchases a laptop it is taken that the manufacturer has built into his product a speaker that can be heard at a reasonable bd level.

To say that the macbook pro has only a speaker for boot up and notification sound is pure bunkum and I would say this violates the consumers expectations when purchasing the product.

If Apple want to sell a laptop with out meaningful sound out put, then they should be upfront and not deceive customers.

Apple should clearly state in their advertising of the mack book pro and say " the macbook pro is sold with out speakers!"(speakers meant in the ordinary context of what consumers understand and expect the term to mean) We are not talking about professionals wanting stereo sound etc,etc that is ludicrous to suggest that, and ordinary person would expect a lap top to have ordinary speakers that would project ordinary sound that can be heard at a reasonable level.

This would be true to advertisement standards of full disclosure about their product by advising consumers that the "mac book pro does not have speakers."

If Apple would have told me that they do not have speakers in their laptops other than to provide announcement ding dong sound, then I would have certainly not purchased their product.

Apple in fact have sold me and millions of other customers a lap top under false pretentions.

I think this violates consumer standards and this should be definitely challenged through Consumer Affairs and The department of Fair Trading.

I Fly continually and use a lap top, are you/Apple suggesting that I lug around a set of external speakers, while other passengers sitting next to me are using microsoft laptops with built in speakers??? I think you have been out in the sun too long.

You seem to be talking about a laptop of some kind.

This thread is located in the "Desktop" section. The Mac Pro is a desktop computer. The original question asked about the Mac Pro.

Which computer are you talking about? The Mac Pro, or something else?

Thanks for this! I am testing Sling TV this weekend, running it through my laptop. Needed to turn up the volume so I could hear it over the air conditioner. Works great!

freeware ??? apple ought to be fixing this with a simple update !!

someone somewhere in Apple is making money off of BOOM (and others) to keep this problem unresolved

Well if you want to Listen to music on Itunes a bit more louder. There is an Equalizer built in to your iTunes. Im not good at explaining **** so bare with me. Just open your itunes and click on windows at the very very top. Then click on Equalizer and another box will open then you can adjust sound. The sound is not so great but you can adjust it to your liking. Anyway i hope this helps. Cheers.

Hi, the two software seem like they would work, but I'm not going to pay $17. With Boom2, it's only for OS X Yosemite not OS X Macintosh.

I do have a MacBook Pro. I do no know what year; I got it about 3 years ago. It's only updated to OS X Macintosh. I am using headphones, and the volume is not very loud. If y'all have a software the works for Macintosh, that would be amazing!

Thank you!

Hi All, I have tried everything suggested to increase the volume on my new (to me) macbook pro mid 2012. Zip. My

Iphone was louder.

It was particularly bad this morning, what ever. So I hunted again for suggestions and tips.

I found something that WORKED. YEAH! Just wanted to share with you all and hope it works for you.

I did take me a minute to figure out the slightly different labels or their order, but stick with it. Here is the link:

MatSher's tips on august 26 2010 were the one that did it for me. He's right, I had to turn the volume down on my computer

after I followed his directions!!

FINALLY. Thanks again for all the help that I have gotten over the years from you all. Hope this is a good payback, its my

first post

I use a great little app called Boom. There's a free version and a paid with more options. It boosts the built speakers significantly and it has a cool little mixing board with various options for music styles, bass, voice, radio, etc..

This discussion started in 2012 and yet people are still responding.

And this is a Mac Pro forum yet we still have the Mac Book Pro users chiming in.

Yikes.
