Thanks for the tutorial, however on macOS there is no QT, there is “macosx” interface which contains “maximum volume displayed” setting. I set to 300, saved, and restarted vlc, and it was reset to 200. Any idea how to accomplish this on mac?
Thanks in advance,
JD

Thank you. I don’t understand why VLC decided to bury this option. It used to be so much simpler to access.
Thomas says
I forgot where to find this setting, so thanks for the helpful guide.

I clicked on QT and scrolled down but I couldn’t find anything that said maximum volume 🙁
Tim says
Scroll down, You will see Maximum Volume Displayed (the default is 125), thus you can change it.
