In VLC 3.0.19 (Linux) the amplification goes up to '200%' (note that the UI icon and font don't exceed '125%', the on-screen display does). With my current audio hardware there's no need to use the feature.

Pressing the up arrow ↑ increases the volume by 5% (in the mpv media player I've developed a muscle memory to skip forward with the key). I haven't been able to unbind the arrow keys, in the configuration file ~/.config/vlc/vlcrc the functionality is now mapped to nothing:

# Volume up (string)
#global-key-vol-up=

# Volume up (string)
key-vol-up=

# Volume down (string)
#global-key-vol-down=

# Volume down (string)
key-vol-down=

I was able to disable the mouse wheel, which also controls the volume by default.

Additionally disabling 'remember the audio volume' option doesn't appear to work — the level of volume is saved and persists between media files.

Do this :

  • Open menu Tools > Preferences
  • Click on "All" at the bottom-left
  • Position to Audio > Filters > Volume normaliser
  • Set "Maximal volume level" to 1.00.

  • Still goes to 200% unfortunately. Restarted VLC, the config file now reads `norm-max-level=1.000000`. There's no need to enable the normaliser itself (and how to in the first place)? But a plausible solution, I assumed it'd work. – user198350 Jun 18 '23 at 10:17
  • I'll see if this is reproducible on other platforms and may file a bug for VLC. – user198350 Jun 18 '23 at 10:18
  • You need to enable the Volume normalizer (see [link](https://www.videoconverterfactory.com/tips/vlc-normalize-volume.html)). – harrymc Jun 18 '23 at 10:19

    One more spot : *Preferences > All > Interface > Qt*, set "Maximum Volume displayed" to `100`. – harrymc Jun 18 '23 at 13:21
