convert kAudioSessionProperty_CurrentHardwareOutputVolume to dB value


  • Subject: convert kAudioSessionProperty_CurrentHardwareOutputVolume to dB value
  • From: Kevin Dixon <email@hidden>

So it seems that kAudioSessionProperty_CurrentHardwareOutputVolume
returns arbitrary volume units instead of linear gain.
For example when i get the value 0.711712, I convert to dB with

20.0f * log10(volume)

returning ~ -2.95 dB.

However when I measure a 0dB FS tone from my headphone output, with
the volume at 0.711712, the observed power is more in the neighborhood
of -16dB

Can anyone clarify this situation? It is imperative that I know the
actual attenuation so my algorithm can react correctly.

Thanks in advance

-Kevin
