5. Sound Settings
Figure 5.1.: The sound settings screen
The Sound Settings menu offers a selection of sound properties you may change to
customize your listening experience.
5.1. 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
ordinarily lead to distorted sound, but might work nicely for music that has an other-
wise low volume level. The volume can be adjusted from a minimum of -78 dB to a
maximum of +18 dB.
5.2. Bass
This emphasises or suppresses the lower (bass) sounds in the track. 0 means that bass
sounds are unaltered (flat response).
5.3. Treble
This emphasises or suppresses the higher (treble) sounds in the track. 0 means that
treble sounds are unaltered (flat response).
