LoudnessEnhancer is an audio effect for increasing audio loudness. The processing is parametrized by a target gain value, which determines the maximum amount by which an audio signal will be amplified; signals amplified outside of the sample range supported by the platform are compressed. An application creates a LoudnessEnhancer object to instantiate and control a this audio effect in the audio framework. To attach the LoudnessEnhancer to a particular AudioTrack or MediaPlayer, specify the audio session ID of this AudioTrack or MediaPlayer when constructing the effect (see AudioTrack.getAudioSessionId() and MediaPlayer.getAudioSessionId()).
