While you’re listening to your favorite content on Spotify, you might want the adjust the audio to make it louder and sound better. You increase the volume on your device or volume slider on the app, but it might not be enough. Luckily, there are other ways to make Spotify louder and sound better all the time—here’s how.
How to Make Spotify Louder
One of the ways to adjust audio from Spotify is by setting the volume level. To adjust the volume level in Spotify, use these steps: The Loud option will increase the volume, but one song might blare out louder than the last, which is annoying. So make sure to turn on the Normalize volume option above Volume level.
How to Improve Audio Quality on Spotify
In addition to making Spotify louder, you can improve the audio quality too. While that doesn’t technically increase the decibel level, it improves the overall music streaming experience. Adjusting the audio can “trick” your ears into thinking it’s louder. You can adjust different frequencies and optimize the audio using some built-in settings. Spotify offers different audio quality levels like Low (24kbps), Normal (96kbps), High (160kbps), and Very High (320kpbs). The higher the kbps, the more pristine and clean the audio stream. Note: To get the Very High streaming level, you need to be a Spotify Premium user. Also, at the time of this writing, Spotify hasn’t rolled out its Hi-Fi lossless audio plan. If you want lossless CD-quality music, Apple Music offers it, and so does TIDAL. To improve the audio quality on Spotify, use the following steps: The higher you set it, the more data it will use. That’s typically not an issue for at-home use. However, you’ll want to use discretion while on cellular if you have a limited data plan.

If you have a high-quality soundcard, GPU, and other beefy hardware you’ll want to get the most from it. For that, you can enable hardware acceleration on Spotify. To enable hardware acceleration, use the following steps:
With hardware acceleration enabled, Spotify should optimize the volume and other experiences of the app. However, it will vary between devices and types of hardware—it can always cause Spotify to stop randomly.
Enjoying Your Spotify Playlists
Using the steps above will provide an audio experience that’s louder and better sounding. You can only adjust the audio quality to 160kbps with a free account. You’ll need the Premium version to get the higher streaming rates. Spotify offers several features for making listening to your music an enjoyable experience. For example, you can change a Spotify playlist picture or transfer your playlists to a new account. Another underused feature is playing your own music files on Spotify, which is helpful if you’re offline or an artist isn’t on Spotify. Comment Name * Email *
