VLC Volume – How to Increase Maximum Volume Output by VLC

audiovlc-media-playerwindows 7

I like watching movies (using VLC) on my laptop and sometimes the volume is too low for my taste even when the volume in VLC is set to the maximum of 125% on the volume control (bottom right):

I already have all the volumes set to 100% in the Windows Volume Mixer:

What are my options to increase the volume beyond this maximum?

As per your image in VLC, you should be able to set the volume higher, and infact it can go as high as 400%, but this isn't indicated in the graphical options. Simply clicking within the volume bar to the required volume, or 'mouse scrolling' on the video's window should cause the volume to inrease/decrease, beyond 100% as seen here: enter image description here

If you wish to control the volume in the UI, and go higher than 125% then you can do so by changing the setting in the Qt menu in preferences:
