Many software included in this list are media players that use equalizer to boost bass. The equalizer used by these media players have various frequency bands, but only few frequency bands can boost bass levels. Common frequency bands at which these software produce bass are 60 Hz, 31.25 Hz, and 62 Hz. Through these media players, you can get a boost of around 15 to 20 decibels. Apart from frequency bands, you can also use presets like full bass, bass and treble, etc., to boost bass levels.

Few software included here work at the system level. It means that you can use any media player to play any audio or video file, and still you will get the boosted bass levels. These system level software have one let down that they do not provide their own media players.

Some audio editing software that can boost sound are also included in this list. The main advantage of audio editing software is that you can increase the bass levels of some selected part of the audio. Plus, they also let you save audio in various audio formats.

Almost all of these bass boosting software support many popular audio formats like MP3, AAC, WMA, MP2, OGG, M4A, etc.

FxSound

FxSound is a free bass booster software for Windows. It is used to boost the overall bass and sound of a system. It takes over the default audio drivers of PC to boost sound. It does not play audio by itself, so you must need a media player to play audio files.

This free sound booster provides primarily two options to boost sound namely, Dynamic Boost and Bass. You can view these option in Effects menu. Dynamic boost option is used to boost both the overall sound along with bass. However, Bass option only boosts bass levels without changing any other audio parameter value.

The Effects menu contains more audio options namely, Fidelity, Ambience and 3Dsurround. In this free version of FxSound, you can boost bass and other audio parameters up to level 5 or 50 percent. Plus, its 3D surround option is completely disabled. You need to purchase its full version to enjoy all features without restrictions.

This sound booster also provides a nine band frequency equalizer to manually vary various parameters (bass, treble, etc.) of an audio. Getting desired sound levels using equalizer is a bit tricky still, it is a good option to have.

Audacity

Audacity is a free and open source audio editor software for Windows. It provides lots of audio editing tools and effects to enhance audio. Bass is also an audio effect and you can vary bass levels through this software. Along with bass, various other audio effects like treble, tempo, echo, pitch, etc., can also be varied. Furthermore, you can directly record and play audio in Audacity as well.

To boost sound, first, go to Effects > Bass and Treble. Bass and treble option contains three sliders through which you can increase or decrease bass, treble, and volume levels between -30 to 30. After making adjustments on sound levels, apply changes and preview audio using its own audio player. Here, you can also save the adjustments as a preset for later use.

The main advantage of an audio editor software over other bass booster software is that in audio editor, you can apply effects on a selected part of audio. To select a certain part of audio, just click and drag mouse over the time line of audio. Now, you can easily boost bass or apply any other effect on selected audio part.

In Audacity, you need to export audio in order to save bass boosted audio in audio formats such as .mp3, .ogg, .flac, .mp2, etc. But, its export option needs a lame enc.dll file in order to export audio in various audio format. Clicking on the Export audio option opens up a small window, through which you can download or browse the lame encoder file.

In the nutshell, it is a great audio editor that can provide a significant amount of boost in bass levels of audio.

You can also change output file folder before boosting the audio. After setup, you can directly drag and drop an audio file on its interface to get boosted bass audio file as output.
