How to Make Audible Louder? Solved!

Part 1. Adjust Volume Settings

One of the simplest and quickest ways to make your Audible experience louder and clearer is to adjust volume settings. Whether you're using the Audible app on your phone or accessing it through the Web Player on your computer, you can easily increase the volume to suit your preferences. Before getting started, ensure that your device's volume settings are not muted or set too low.

Option 1: Using Volume Control

For Audible App [Mobile]:

1. Open the Audible app on your phone or tablet, like you would with any other app you use.
2. Choose the audiobook you want to listen to from your library. Just tap on the cover to start it.
3. While the book is playing, find the physical volume buttons on the side of your device. They're the same buttons you use to adjust your phone's ringtone or alarms.
4. Press the volume up button to make the book louder. Keep pressing until it's as loud as you want.
5. If you need more control, check if the app has extra volume options in its settings. You might find a way to boost the sound even more there.

For Audible Web Player [Desktop]:

For the lack of the volume control of Audible Web Player, you can use your computer's volume control along with the volume mixer.

1. Open your preferred web browser and go to the Audible website by typing www.audible.com into the address bar and pressing Enter.
2. Sign in to your Audible account using your username and password. If you're already logged in, skip this step.
3. Choose the audiobook you wish to listen to from your library by clicking on its cover or title.
4. Once the audiobook starts playing, proceed to adjust the volume using your device's controls:
• For Windows users:
  1. Locate the volume icon in the system tray, typically found in the bottom-right corner of the screen.
  2. Click on the volume icon to open the volume slider. Drag the slider to the right to increase the volume until it reaches your desired level.
• For Mac users:
  1. You can adjust the volume using the volume keys on your keyboard.
  2. Alternatively, click on the volume icon in the menu bar at the top-right corner of the screen and drag the slider to adjust the volume.

Extra Tip: Adjust the Volume Only for Audible:

Windows users can fine-tune the volume of Audible Web Player and other applications separately using the volume mixer, while Mac users can manage the volume through the "Sound" settings in System Preferences.

• For Windows users:
  1. Right-click on the volume icon in the system tray and select "Open Volume Mixer."
  2. Adjust the volume levels for Audible Web Player and other applications individually to achieve the desired balance.
• For Mac:
  1. Navigate to System Preferences > Sound, and then select the "Output" tab.
  2. Adjust the output volume for Audible Web Player to your preference.

Option 2: Using Audible Volume Control

If you're using Chrome, you can also try installing the "Audible Volume Control" extension from the Chrome Web Store to tweak the volume more easily.

1. Open Google Chrome and go to the Chrome Web Store.
2. Search for "Audible Volume Control" in the search bar.
3. Click on the extension from the search results to open its page.
4. Click on the "Add to Chrome" button, then confirm by clicking "Add extension" in the pop-up window.
5. Once the extension is added, you'll see its icon appear in the Chrome toolbar (usually located in the top-right corner of the browser window).
6. Click on the "Audible Volume Control" icon to activate it.
7. Now, when you're playing an audiobook on Audible's web player, you'll notice a new volume control interface provided by the extension.
8. Use the slider or buttons in the Audible Volume Control interface to adjust the volume to your liking.
9. Move the slider to the right to turn up the volume. Keep going until it's as loud as you need it to be.

Part 2. Connect Audible to Speaker

After increasing the device's volume, if the Audible volume still isn't satisfactory, you might consider using a speaker device. Speaker devices such as Amazon Echo, Sonos, HomePod, and others can significantly enhance the audio output of your audiobooks, making them louder and more enjoyable to listen to. These devices offer seamless integration with Audible, allowing you to listen to your favorite audiobooks aloud in any room of your home with enhanced volume and clarity.

Option 1: Using Amazon Echo

1. Open the Amazon Alexa app on your mobile device and tap the Play button.
2. Scroll down until you find your Audible Library and select the audiobook you want to play.
3. A pop-up menu will appear prompting you to choose your output speaker. Select your Amazon Echo from the list.
4. Once Alexa starts playing the audiobook, you can adjust the volume using the controls at the bottom of the screen. Alternatively, you can use voice commands like "Alexa, set the volume to [1-10]" to precisely control the volume level.

Part 3. Edit Audible in Audio Editing Software

Another effective method to make your Audible audiobooks louder is by editing them in audio editing software. By using software like ViWizard Audio Converter or a combination of ViWizard Audible Converter and Audacity, you can adjust the volume levels of your Audible files to your preference. Due to DRM protection on AA or AAX files obtained from Audible, they may not be directly recognized by most audio editing software. ViWizard can unlock and convert these audiobooks into formats compatible with editing software.

1. Using ViWizard Audible Converter & Audacity

If you download Audible audiobooks solely to your computer, you'll find them stored in the DRM-encoded AA or AAX format, which is only supported by Audible-authorized devices. By using an Audible converter to convert AA or AAX files to formats like MP3 or WAV, you can then edit them in audio editing software like Audacity, which offers a range of editing tools. ViWizard Audible Converter also allows you to adjust volume levels as part of the customization of your audiobooks. Once you've made the necessary edits, you can save your audiobooks in the desired format for enhanced volume. They're also compatible with various media players and devices.
