please click on "+" or "-" of the scale of "DOWN".

(11). response rate to small
If you would like to speed up or down GoVolume's response for the small of master-volume,

Then click on "loudness correction" and display "loudness correction" panel.

According to the equal-loudness-level contours, someone would better configure 2KHz and 4KHz
to down to "-"(from -1 to -10).
The reason why is that human beings can hear the sound between 2KHz to 4KHz sensitively.

  When the audio input was set up more than compensate for the volume force in terms of dB below the reference value,
 So as to reduce the master volume immediately below the standard.
 "Force volume correction" is available on the checks.
 (The default value is 20dB at the check).

(14)Volume Area Correction Settings
  When the volume area (average dB of each range) is the reference volume dB than volume area correction smaller than the  difference between the reference value to trigger, it performs an operation to lower the volume. This is effective for the  content of outputting the average sound over the entire frequency range. In function it is to operate the largest book in  comparison to the range volume with the volume in the normal, for the content to generate the average sound for all the range,  to complement that there are weaknesses in the control of the volume is there.

(15) Logarithm Of The Volume
