"As a Red owner if you want more output you desperately need to see an audiologist. No, I am not making a joke. Without further information you apparently have a serious hearing problem."

Some YouTube videos, like the one linked, don't quite play loud enough on my laptop, with the settings maxed out. (Most videos do play loud enough, but not all. I tried some "volume boost" programs, but the sound quality suffered.)

I was just wondering if the Cobalt had more "gain" than the Red. Unless there is an alternative way to increase the volume on a Windows PC, and don't realize it.

"How are you using the AQ Red? Please advise 'phones/IEMs , hardware and software platforms."

The device is plugged directly into a USB port. I use an HP EliteBook Core i7, Beyerdynamic DT880 plugged directly into the unit. Unit runs on Windows 10.
