Allow to boost volume #25

The main reason stopping me from using your app at the moment is the fact that audio output is too silent even at 100% on my device. Other players allow to increase the volume to a higher level.

Hm weird. I have no difference in volume between AudioAnchor and any other player I use (VLC, Vinyl, Samsung Music). A few questions: 1) Which players are you using? 2) You probably tried it with the same audio file? 3) Are you using headphones? 4) Which Android version are you using?

  1. Voice and Audible
  2. In the case of Voice, yes
  3. Yes... and I think the problem is tied to this. I don't currently have my headphones to test but using speaker the volume seems to be the same in all apps
  4. Lineage 16 based on Android 9

I see. Voice has an extra option to increase the volume outside the normal system-wide volume setting, I guess this feature is what you used. So the problem is probably not with AudioAnchor but with your files or headphones. And certain other apps allow an additional increase in volume to overcome such issues. Since it seems to be only a problem if something is wrong with the files/headphone/speaker it's not a top priority, but I'll think about adding this feature.
