Increase volume of specific apps louder than system volume #314

Hello @irzyxa,

just have a question about Volume2 and a possible feature you could maybe add.

Loudness Equalization: Normally I do use this feature (enabled) on my Windows 10 system / Realtek Audio Console to increase the volume on entire system because when I have it disabled then I can hear almost nothing and that's the reason why I have & keep this option enabled to hear everything normal etc. Unfortunately it turns out that some applications I run on my system don't using the enabled "Loudness Equalization" and the sound playing in those apps is very quiet. I was looking for an app what could increase the volume for specific applications but still found nothing yet. I also did test the Volume2 tool and see I can also set different apps into a custom list but I can not increase the volume of them higher as the system volume.

Feature Request: Could you add a function where I can set specific applications with an desired volume X higher as the system volume? Example: My system volume is set to 100 (highest). Loudness Equalization is enabled (always). Now I run any player apps to play any audio file and the volume is same loud for all of them = equal. Now I run any other app to play same audio but its much quieter because the app does not use the enabled "Loudness Equalization" for some reason even the loudness in this app is also set to highest 100% level. In this case I have running 2 apps which playing the audio in a different volume what is very annoying of course and somehow I need to find a app what can equalize that difference in the app what is playing the audio quieter. The question is how? So in Volume2 I didn't seen any option where I could increase the volume of any apps higher than system volume. So is it possible for you to add such an feature to make running specific apps louder? So there is a app called VLC player which has an build in volume changer you can increase the volume slider higher than 100 (under interface / QT) and VLC does play the sound higher as the highest system volume. Something like that I would like to have in Volume2 tool to make specific apps playing the sound louder.

It can be done only by driver or by source application. Volume² just control volume using standard Windows API.
