I got a Mac Air a few months ago, and I found the speakers to be barely audible for watching videos or music, however, I stumbled upon the program "Boom", and it has solved the problem perfectly. It boosts the sound quite a bit, and also has an equalizer which is located up on the bar along with the slider for sound control.

I have nothing to do with the program itself(wish I did), but for both my wife and I our Airs now have all the volume we had initially hoped for.

Although it leaves me asking why Apple doesn't boost the volume in the first place.

I have no idea what this program does, but maybe Apple didn't boost the volume because it could blow out those tiny little speakers. I'd be careful using this.

I suspect that all the application does is boost certain frequencies to make it sound louder. It's a rather well-known trick - my car stereo has a "louder" setting that does the same thing.
