A Few ways to set your Volume

 Some Sound cards have been tested and benchmarked for use with Shakti. You should see if you have one of these. If you do, you can set the volume by hand, making your setup more exact. In general, desktops are better than laptops, and sound devices that are built into motherboards are not as good as the ones that install into their own slot on the motherboard. Nearly all sound cards are good enough for Shakti.

The 'best' card for Shakti is simply a good one. The kind that plug into your motherboard are better than the ones that are integrated into the motherboard. The recommended brand is Sound Blaster, from Creative labs. This is because all Sound Blaster sound cards are calibrated - they all have the same maximum outputs. Used but fully functional ones can be obtained very inexpensively from
eBay. These are very common devices, and they always have the model number printed on the card, so it's easy to find the drivers for them online.

If you have a laptop, the best ones are USB devices made by creative labs, or other trusted sound card manufacturers. These cost a bit more than the generic ones, but they're worth it, both for Shakti and your music enjoyment.

 

To set your volume, you need to figure out which type of sound device you have (very easy to do), and then set your volume according to type. This method is good for most sound devices, though there are a few exceptions. Some devices have been tested for their volume level.
