    extends AudioEffect
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
    
  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()).
