Dear All,

I want to apply the gains (increasing volume) on encoded
signal(digital signal that means after capturing speech from mic). for
this I am taking each sample and then multiplied that with required
gain factor.During this process if the sample value exceeds the 16 bit
range(the data format that i consider is 16 bit mono 8 kHz) clipping
takes place. Due to this clipping distortin occurs.


Is there any other approch to apply the gains on digital
signal without any distortion.And also any approch for avoiding
distortion.


Thanks in
Advance.


Regards,
Venkata Krishna .Chunduri.
