Increase the loudness of a .wav file

Asked by AKMARK5000 in Digital Music and Video, Computer Sound Cards, Digital Living

Tags: .wav, increase amplitude, increase loud

I'm not sure if I where to ask this question, but here it goes...

I am inserting .wav files into a video game.  I found the sounds on the internet and they sound ok as far as the loudness or volume goes.  

However, when I insert them into my game their loudness decreases drastically.  I edited the .wav files in Audacity 1.2.6 and increased the amplitude.  This helps, but not by much and the background distortion is increased.also.

I suspect that the issue is that the original sounds were not recorded loud enough.  But I am not very good at sound editing and do not sure.  So maybe someone could help me out with some information on how or even if I can increase the loudness of my .wav files beside what I have already done?Start Free Trial
