@boby1, Welcome to the HP Support Community!

If you would like to increase the volume beyond the available settings on the computer, you may have to install a third-party media application like VLC at your own discretion.

Let us try these steps:

1. Press Cortana’s taskbar button, and enter the keyword audio in the app’s search box.
2. Select Manage audio devices to open the window directly below. Select the Headphones from the list.
3. Click the Properties button to open the General tab.
4. Select the Enhancement tab on the Speakers Properties window.
5. Select the Loudness Equalizer checkbox on the Enhancement tab.
6. 
7. Press the Apply > OK buttons to close the window.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
