game audio still too quiet at 100% volume on windows

some games are barely audible even with windows and the in-game slider maxed out. headset is fine with music. is there a way to boost volume past max?

check the volume mixer first, windows keeps a separate level per app and games sometimes come in at 50. if that's fine, go to sound settings > your output device > properties and try Loudness Equalization under enhancements (not every driver has it). also worth checking the communications tab isn't set to reduce other sounds when it detects voice chat, that one catches people.
