HTMLVideoElements should support volume greater than 1.0 |
||||
Issue description
tl;dr: Let's allow users to increase volume above 100% for videos whose sound is way too quiet.
I was just watching a Youtube video, and the lecturer was very hard to hear. Already at 100% in Youtube's UI, I opened the JS console and tried to run:
document.getElementsByTagName('video')[0].volume = 1.25;
...and got a DOMException (out of range, has to be <= 1.0). Hence, I'd like to request that this upper limit be extended a bit (maybe 2.0, or even limitless?).

Presumably system volume was at max too? Sometimes this won't do anything since we'll still clip values down to a [-1, 1] at output; so you'll end up with distortion without some compensating effect.

dalecurtis@, in order to see if it's worth changing the API, do you know how VLC does this?
