Set Maximum Volume Limit in Windows 10: You all might have experienced how aching and irritating it becomes when you open a webpage & an advertisement starts playing some high pitch loud noise abruptly, particularly when you have your headphones or earphones on. Smart-phones have that built-in feature to check on how loudly you are listening to music. The OS in your mobile will pop up with a warning that this might become dangerous for your hearing as you try to raise the volume beyond the critical level. There is also an option to ignore that warning and increase your volume as per your comfort.
Your computer operating systems do not pop up with any warning message and hence parental controls also do not pull out to limit that volume. There are some free Windows applications which let users set the highest volume limit. Basically, these applications help in preventing users from abruptly increase your machine’s volume beyond a critical level that the user has already set. But, still the user has the option to raise the volume in apps like video players, Microsoft’s default Windows Media Player, or in your VLC player. In this article, you will get to know about different ways of limiting your volume in Windows 10 and how to set Set Maximum Volume Limit in Windows 10.
