How To Make Projector Louder?
Nowadays, many people are getting a projector instead of traditional television to enhance their viewing experience on a bigger screen.
So, whether you purchase a projector for the first time or already have one, it is sometimes harder to know all the features without reading the user manual guide.
Many people use the projector for gaming or watching a 4k movie with family and friends to get a theatre-type experience.
But sometimes, I have noticed when watching content on a bigger screen many times, the projector’s sound gets too low automatically even if the volume is set to high.
And everyone, including me, wants their projector to produce a loud and clear sound so you can take full advantage of your high-end projection unit.
But even if the sound level is maximum and you face the same problem, here is an effective guide on how to make projector louder?
Quick View
Why is the volume of my projector too low?
If you feel that the volume of the projector you are using is too low, here are some potential reasons behind that.
Check Sound Levels
It happens mainly when we serviced our projector like cleaning lens or projector having occasional cleaning process.
Remember, whenever the projector is serviced, the manufacturer resets the setting to factory default, where its possible the volume and other settings get messed up and disturbed.
So, to fix the issue, you should start looking at basic sound settings to fix the audio output problem and check whether the sound has been increased or not.
Contacting Support
If you have connected the soundbar and don’t know which volume level is appropriate for your projector, then it’s right for you to reach out to tech support ( here, I am mentioning Epson support).
But I highly recommend you adjust the projector audio output level by using the sound buttons before contacting customer support.
If you know what you are doing, then only proceed further because if you do the Experimenting, it will only worsen things.
External Speakers
Sometimes the external speaker makes the sound level bit low due to many technical reasons.
So, if you are using the external speakers, check their volume or fix the technical issue which makes the sound too low.
It is not sufficient to just check the volume level of the speaker from where the video sound is coming from the projector.
Check Your Laptop Or Desktop Volume is high
If your projector is connected to a computer, ensure the sound level is high because people often forget to unmute or raise the volume from their laptops.
Also, if you are using a third-party app to stream the content on the screen with the help of a projection system, check the sound level from their end to get high sound.
Cables & Connectivity Issue
Sometimes cable also plays an important role if it is not properly attached to either the external speaker or the back of the projector.
Also, if your projector is a bit older and does not have an HDMI port at the back and your external speaker support only HDMI input, then you will need a connector.
You cannot go ahead with a VGA cable in such a scenario. As a solution, you can use a compatible connector or adapter audio cable instead and hook it to the source device.
But when you use a connector, no matter how costly it is, it will degrade the audio quality and the external speaker’s volume when you use a connector.
Another alternative is to replace the wires if they are old and damaged. Doing this helps to improve the sound quality of the projector automatically to a significant extent.
Software and app updates are pending.
Recently, the projector comes with operating systems like Android, Aptoide or the manufacturer’s official version to run various applications.
So, if there are any recent updates, the chances are very low that it will improve the audio quality or increase the sound level.
But still, you should give it a try by updating the system.
Things to check before looking for solutions.
Before you try out any solutions, it is recommended to check that everything is working correctly or not.
Check the volume
As I stated above, before applying any tricks, check the volume level of all the devices connected to the projector.
The devices mainly connected with projectors are DVD players, Blu-ray, Nintendo switch, etc.
Clean the speaker.
Whether you are using a projector speaker or any external one, check whether they are performing at their highest level.
Sometimes the dust gets collected inside the speaker and blocks the sound level from the speaker.
In this case, ensure you either clean the speaker from the service centre, or if you know how to clean, you can do it yourself.
Alternate Ways For How to make projector louder?
No matter how premium speakers your internal unit has, you will still need an external speakers system to get decent volume for the content playing on the projector.
Connect to an external set of speakers.
The first option is connecting your model to external soundbars to get a true home theatre experience.
Today in the market, the available speakers do not need rocket science to connect them with your projector.
Either connect them to a 3.5mm jack port, or if your projector has Bluetooth connectivity, bridge the connection between them.
Depending on your convenience, you can choose stereo speakers, sound bars, Bluetooth speakers, etc.
Use an AUX cable for speakers.
So, if you are using AUX cable to third-party speakers, ensure the cord has a gold plated pin at both sides, and the wire quality should be premium.
Connect the AUX cable from both ends to get clear and loud audio from the speakers to enjoy a true gaming experience.
This technique significantly improves your projector’s sound quality by a massive margin.
FAQs
Can I connect speakers to my projector?
Yes, and even the company provides extra ports to connect third-party devices to increase your viewing experience.
Now every projector, whether they are 4k or are budget friendly all comes with Bluetooth or WIFI compatibility.
Why is my projector sound so low?
There are several reasons why the sound on your projector is too low, or almost nothing is coming out.
The above reasons we have explained will nearly solve your problem and make your model sound pretty decent.
But one thing I want to add is that no matter whatever guide you read available on the internet, you cannot make your projector sound more than its capacity.
If you try to do it, it will only ruin the sound quality or, in the worst-case scenario, damage the speaker completely.
Conclusion
We hope the above information will help you increase the sound level of your projector models if they sound pretty low.
Remember, the most effective method, according to our testing and experience cleaning the speakers from time to time, which will keep the audio level high.
Also, make sure when you bring the unit from the service centre do check its volume setting and increase them according to your need.
At that moment, I thought, why should I restrict myself to a smaller screen when an alternate option like a projector is available on the market.
So, I began searching the internet for the best projectors in 2014. And to be honest, I didn't find the information I was looking for.
But then, on my friend's suggestion, I purchased a BenQ 1080p projector in 2015. After that, my love and interest in Projector started, and I kept reviewing the latest available projectors available in the market.
I wrote down each advantage and disadvantage of the current Projector model. I gave only an honest reviews to my readers on projectorsplace.com and my social media pages like Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, etc.
