# 5.4. Volume

I've reduced the volumes levels TiMidity generates quite a lot, as compared with the original implementation. This minimizes clipping and gives an increased dynamic range. (There may be some artifacts now at low volumes, unfortunately.) If you need more volume, I suggest you turn up the volume somewhere else, either use KMix to turn up the line volume, the mixer volume for /dev/dsp, or turn up earphones, amplified speakers, or whatever.
