Increase Master Volume Above 1.0?

TTStu

Hi,

just wondered if there is a way to increase SPAudioSession masterVolume (or SPSoundChannel volume) above 1.0?

I understand that it couldn't go on indefinitely because there is surely a point at which the device speakers could be damaged, but it would be nice to offer a small boost to volume levels...

I couldn't find the definition of the allowed "gain" value of OpenAL, but AVAudioChannel defines its volume as "between 0 and 1". That's what Sparrow uses internally.

That said: I just tried to the Sparrow Demo's "Sound" scene, trying out volumes above 1. And I could hear a difference! So this might even work, after all.

Heh, ok thanks, I did find a slight difference myself, but it didn't seem to be consistent, and I couldn't find the upper limit, but no worries, I've just worked around it (by doing nothing hehe)

I love this solution! It gave me a laugh.

I wish I could force myself to have that mentality on tasks that I am stuck on for hours.

Hehe, I figured to get a true amplification I would have to open each audio file one by one in Audacity and manually amplify, and really, they aren't quiet.

I was just looking for the "this amp goes up to 11" amp switch 😉
