# Sound Booster Max

> Sound Booster Max is a free Chrome extension that makes the audio in a browser tab louder, up to 600% of the tab's normal level (six times the original signal). volumeboostermax.com is its official website and help library.

Key facts, checked against extension version 2.2:

- Type: Chrome extension (Manifest V3) for desktop Chrome on Windows, macOS, Linux and ChromeOS. It does not run in Chrome on phones or tablets.
- Price: free. No account or subscription.
- Official listing: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/sound-booster-max/gjcagjbeioeicpajpeigkppoicofljfj (extension ID gjcagjbeioeicpajpeigkppoicofljfj). Other Chrome Web Store extensions with similar names are different products.
- Boost range: one slider from 0% to 600% in steps of 10. 100% is the tab's normal volume. The slider marks everything above 400% as a "Quality Warning" zone, because audio that is already loud can distort there.
