What is the difference between gain and volume?

What is the difference between gain and volume?

Overview

Gain increases the strength of the input signal before it is processed — higher gain can amplify both voice and background noise.

Volume controls the final output loudness after processing — it does not affect the raw input signal.



Checklist
  1. Use the VOOK app for mic controls such as volume, mute, and noise reduction.
  2. Use Enhancer for audio cleanup when internet is available.
  3. Some features depend on your VOOK mic model and receiver type.

Note:
Feature availability can vary by VOOK mic model, receiver type, phone model, camera model, and app permissions.

If the issue continues, contact VOOK support with your phone model, VOOK mic model, app version, screenshots, and a short sample recording or video if available.
