Here is the situation
I downloaded a video sometime ago... It's got 6 channels audio...
When I play it in Windows Media Player and turn the volume to maximum I ain't quite satisfied with the loudness... It's on the lower side... Where as if I play the same video in VLC player and set the Audio Setting to 5.1 it gives me amazing loudness... But I don't want to use that player because it doesn't support VobSub...

And I also don't want to reincode the whole video... Because I don't want to loose that 6 channels audio... also the encoding time is painful...

So is there any other way by which I can increase it's loudness directly ?
Or maybe some plugin for Windows Media Player which can Increase the loudness ???

Whoops....

Sorry didn't knew that there was DFX for Windows Media player too...

Now the loudness is excellent...
