Hackers Assemble and make things louder

Okay, so maybe this is totally impossible for some DSP related reason but it seems like it should be possible.

So, I'm half-deaf. Whenever I'm playing music or watching video, I'm always wishing I could make it louder, even after I've maxed out the volume in windows and in the media player.

There must be some way to make things even louder? To amp the sound and make it louder still? Maybe a setting in a media player? I use KMP, maybe KMP doesn't do this but there is one that does? Maybe there is a separate program, there has to be some way to do this, right?

VLC Player has this more than 100% volume option, actually its like 200% & to me it always feels louder than any other player i have on my Windows, so give VLC a shot may be?

Plug your output into an external amp with a volume knob.

If it's still not loud enough, get a bigger amp and bigger speakers.

Old amps are cheap.
