The sound settings menu offers a selection of sound settings you may change to customise
your listening experience.
6.1. Volume
This setting adjusts the volume of your music. Like most professional audio gear and
many consumer audio products, Rockbox uses a decibel scale where 0 dB is a refer-
ence that indicates the maximum volume that the player can produce without possible
distortion (clipping). All values lower than this reference will be negative and yield a
progressively softer volume. Values higher than 0 dB are available and can be used to
raise the volume more than would otherwise be possible. These volume levels will ordi-
narily lead to distorted sound, but might work nicely for music that has an otherwise low
volume level.
The volume can be adjusted from a minimum of -73 dB to a maximum
of +6 dB.minimum of -74 dB to a maximum of +6 dB.
