Hi all,
My car has the HK and it seems to me that the sound level when playing a song from usb, is lower than the Fm radio.

I tried mp3s flac etc but they sound less loud lacking even the bass, compared to FM radio.

I even tried to increase the gain on the mp3 files but the sound got distorted instead.

Could there be any setting which increases the volume of the usb?

In my previous head unit, I could specify the sound volume gain per source (radio, Bluetooth, usb etc) but not with the HK.

Does anyone have any idea about this?

Thanks
Chris

Not noticed a lot of difference but I did find that playing about with the surround sound settings improved the quality significantly.
