There is no pre-amp. Some players have a control labeled pre-amp; that typically designates a software volume control. This is not effective on any sounds coming from any source other than that player.
If you want to increase the volume of the sound played by your mail program, you'll need to figure out where it's stored, make it louder (e.g. sox) and replace the original file with the loud version.
actually been hunting....found ./sounds....dumped it to my pc.using emelfm2 (love that program)..trying to make em louder...one at a time...got the alarm louder...thanks for the mp3 gain...had to do that for the ipaq back in the day
OK, I did the boost volume for the Mplayer, works perfectly, but, I use the default Media player on the n800, any idea where is the config file to test it??
Canola can be configured to use mplayer for music, I'm using it with softvol-max=150 and i can say that i need to tune my volume down, 'cause my headphones can't take it
Could you please tell us how this can be done? There's a post over here pointing to your comment (how's that for recursive linking ), but where's the beef!!?? TX
