Allow Discord volume to be increased beyond what's currently possible.
Many gamers need to adjust the volume of their games to account for the low volume of Discord's voice chat.
This requires certain games to have different system volume levels, making it difficult to adjust them all together or switch between them.
If gamers could adjust discord's output volume to be louder than currently possible, game volume adjustment wouldn't be necessary.
This would also allow all volume levels to be adjusted easily through system master volume control.

This really isn't discord's problem, you should max out their mic to 200% and volume to 200% aswell. Then upper the master and lower the other applications. If you don't want to upper the master, then you should tell your friends to increase the sensitivity of their mic.

Sorry, but I really think that there is an increased risk of hearing damage with this suggestion. 200% volume is already awfully high and can badly distort sounds - any higher would probably be inaudible and cause damage to your hearing and/or devices -61 -
Why is this being downvoted? It's a pretty solid suggestion, if a specific person's mic is quiet then this feature helps solve that.
If someone decides to blow their speakers out with this it's their own fault. Just have this setting be available in Discord's settings which would warn users of the possible consequences if they turn the setting on.

I'm talking with a lot of people on a daily basis and I didn't met one that was too quiet at 200%, are you sure the people you're talking with have correctly set up their mic? Whatever their OS is there is an option to turn up your mic volume, and you have the same control on discord, if everything is at 100% you should be able to clearly hear the person even if he's whispering.

Translation is Title: "Increase the volume of other users" Description: "I hope the upper limit can be adjusted by more than 200%." 9 -
I was just about to make a similar post and so I found this.
So I have a few ideas for how it could look. Here's an image of the master volume slider:
As this replace the connection info button,
I thought this info could be accessible on the
other side by clicking (where you now get the
ping by hovering) :

You mean like this? ;)

supposing you’re on windows... make sure ur discord is open and then right click the volume button in the bottom right corner of ur screen. Then click on “open volume mixer” and u should see options to adjust your volume for discord

Idk what people are on about, saying "Oh it'll damage your ears" or "It's plenty loud"
I've met about 3 people on discord who are stupidly quiet, even turning them to 200% and upping my master volume to 100 is barely enough to hear them sometimes. Yes, the problem is due to them having shitty mics, but instead of making every single person with this problem get a new mic, having more that 200% volume increase would solve the problem for everyone. Yes, too loud can be bad for you.... so dont turn up the loud people .-. Easy as that.31 -
I have this problem with literally everyone. Where are these loud people who are able to actually become loud? My standard settings for Discord is to have all volumes maxed, then my headset needs to be maxed and no matter the game, its volume has to be turned down to something like 5% or lower. Usually lower. And then I still have to also boost each individual mic... all of this combined and its pretty good... that is a pretty bad standard setting it seems to me. I have not come across anyone that did not find Discord to be extremely low. Obviously setting Discord to 200% on its own ought to be a pretty extreme measure.
Isnt this pretty much the main thing Discord does? Voice chat... being such a major part of the service, how can it be this bad?
And yeah, I am also wondering how having the volume at 200% would damage anyones ears? If that is a thing then you must have missed some of these settings... but settings that should not have had to be changed in the first place...24 -
I agree we need options to boost the audio more for quiet users! My game audio is like 5% on all my games. This needs to change and to the people winging about it being too loud, who's forcing you to crank it up? If your audio levels are fine then leave it be, What we want is an option to boost audio more, not a permanent boost to the audio. You people are amazingly stupid.

need this

well i have a slightly different problem, living in a small apmt, with others, I wish discord had a mode like military comms for a "whisper mode" where i can speak at a low volume and it will amplify my voice to sound normal. if anyone knows of a way me and my gaming clan whould be thankful!
9 -
You would think discord would have better audio controls. When I screenshare everyone else in call can't hear it unless its max volume for me and giving me tinnitus even though their volume is maxed out too. It's dumb and I wish there was a better option.
3 -
I also need this! When I'm gaming and people talk I can't understand them, even if I max out their volume and output volume, I always have to lower the game volume a lot. It's annoying because when I stop talking on discord I have to set the games' volume up again and vice-versa.
I don't see why this shouldn't be implemented. If some people think it's too loud they can just leave the slider where they like!

People saying you don't have a problem with this, do you actually play games and use Discord? Unless your friends have a mic preamp and dynamic range compression on their voice it's straight up impossible for them to be as loud as a game. I have to put Battlefield and Counter Strike down to around 5-10% volume relative to Discord at 100% to get them even. Voice comm in CS:GO is MUCH louder than the same people using the same setup in Discord, even with their volume at 200%
Also digital audio has a limit, and increasing something by even a billion percent doesn't actually mean it blows your ears out. Anything going over the maximum volume is just clipped off. That's why cranking things digitally also sounds distorted and not just louder.
Basically, if you can turn up Discord such that it damages your hearing, you already had your speakers or headphones so loud that other sounds from your computer were already damaging your hearing.

I have the same problem. I'm being forced to use the browser version of discord, because there the volume is high enough, but that's annoying because the browser version lacks other features (like right click, go live etc.). (If I would use the app i would have to increase the master volume on my pc and headphones to a ridiculous volume, and would for instance have to take the volume on YT videos to 5%, and volume of games like Terraria to 3-5%.) PLEASE FIX DISCORD ;(

i need this in my life, let us go to like 500 or 1000% because i dont want to up my master volume because it makes notifications earrapingly loud, and even then its not enough to hear some people, same with streams, love ya

Not sure if this was always the problem, but I found that Windows had reduced the volume of my Discord app to 50%. Setting that to 100% solved this for me, now I can probably make voices from others louder than game audio and such, without the game audio having to be reduced to 5% or less.
I still do boost the microphone audio, set everything else to 100% and such as well. But now I can reduce the volume of Discord users I am chatting with instead of having everyone at 200% on top of everything else.
It is like Drew suggested earlier. The volume mixer, not the one just for the overall volume, but where you can see what the audio level is set to for each individual app you have running. That is where I found Discord for some reason was only at 50%. Which I suspect still might be a Discord issue, even though it might seem like a Windows issue, because I am pretty sure it is set at 50% by default and that it should not be.1 -
Just wanted to add to this...
Since I've started using Discord, although it's notifications are ear piercingly loud, each and every user had to be increased to 200% and the volume of my headset is set to 100%. At this level, each game or application with sound has to be turned down to to 10% in order to equalize all sound across the board. Not to mention all other system sounds and notifications which are painfully loud.Discord is the common denominator here and should be fixed one way or another; it is the only application that needs to be equalized with all other system sounds.

Using the web client, I have output volume at 200% and still can just barely hear my friends over youtube music at minimum volume. On the desktop client at least I could set each person to 200% as well (though it's still inconvenient to do so) but that's not even an option in the web client.
Give me a volume booster already!
5 -
I'm tired of boosting every single user to 200%. Even then they are too quiet.
Looks like you'd rather spend time creating animated poop emojis then making the whole app not as frustrating to use...

bumping this again to say I have over 90% of my friends at over 100 volume, the majority of the ones I talk to often being at 200, and only a few I've kept at 100 or turned down at all, the default volume level discord is based on is pathetic and if I had all my applications at equal volume I would never hear discord in any situation, above 100% volume should be the exception, not the rule

I no longer use Discord for voice/voip. Other messengers better. Signal, and hopefully Session when voip is rolled out there.
3 -
Also bumping this. Every single person in the channel is at 200% volume. The output slider is maxed out. I still have to reduce volume in game (I'll use D3 for this example but its the same across the board) to LITERALLY 8%, and even THEN I have to use attenuation so I can hear anybody. Having to reduce the level of every other thing in windows to single digit percentages just to hear, then increasing when done on discord is not an acceptable solution. My computer setup should not revolve around discord.
Drivers are up to date, correct devices are set in settings. Happens on both of my headsets, my ear buds, and my xlr mixer setup. Happens on my laptop, happens on any of my 3 desktops. The ONLY constant in all these situations is discord itself. PLEASE give us the ability to push max volume higher! Unfortunately I'm having to use other apps for now but I prefer Discord, please fix this.

What about instead of being able to turn the volume over 200% there could be a button that shows up when you are at 200% to "boost" the volume if a specific person is to quiet.
0 -
This is absolutely 100% needed. I currently have everyone in discord set to 200% and I need to turn down all my games and apps master volume to 25% or less and then crank my headphones volume up all the way to be able to hear people.
3 -
Even if there was a hidden setting somewhere in a text file to set the maximum to 1000% or something, I'd use it.
A higher maximum volume level isn't dangerous for your ears, it's actually safer. In the current situation, if someone is very quiet, I can only turn them up to 200%, so I have to turn up my master headphone/speaker volume to get more headroom. This increases the risk of loud sounds from other users joining the voice channel at 100% volume, or another loud application. If I could turn up the quiet person 1000%, my headphone/speaker headroom can be set to low levels, and that person will be clipped at 0dB so there's little risk for hearing damage.
I should also point out that percentages (%) are a strange unit for audio. I don't walk into a room and think "this is 200% as loud as the room I was in". Decibels are much more accurate and match the scale of our ears a bit better. I'd love to turn up someone +12dB or -6dB. It makes more sense to me than 400%, 50%, etc.

Set "Volume of Discord Sound Settings" and "Volume of Windows Volume Mixer App" to "MAX" and finally you can hear the other party's voice. It's very unpleasant to hear a roar when you start the game. If you think about video distributors and users. By all means, I would like you to review and improve the volume of the application once.
======================================================
「ディスコードのサウンド設定の音量」と「Windowsの音量ミキサーのアプリの音量」を"MAXな状態”にしてやっと丁度良く相手の声が聞こえます。ゲームを起動した時に爆音になるのがとても不愉快です。動画配信者やユーザーの事を考えるのなら。是非、一度、アプリの音量を見直して改善してほしいです。
======================================================
音量に関して改善してほしい点をまとめました。

uping discord volume and master to hear a low voice just makes sound alerts painly loud to the hears. This is not discord problem this is windows problem, amplification is as basic as AND gate, i don't see why we dont have +/- 1k% range on microphones in/outputs.
