LOR1602MP3 SD Card volume low - how increase line level output?

[WynsWrld98]

I'm a newbie with an LOR1602MP3 with SD Card, not using it connected to a computer, just writing sequences/mp3s to SD card and inserting in controller. The problem I'm having is the audio line level output signal from the 1602MP3 is low in volume, the A/V receiver I have it connected to for my sound has to be cranked up close to max to get much volume out of it.

I really don't want to re-record all of my MP3s to be louder, is there another option to get a higher output signal from the line level audio output from the LOR controller?

I've burned the MP3s to CD and play them in my car and the level matches very well to store bought CDs so I really don't see that the MP3s are recorded too low of a level.

One idea I had as a simple solution is a headphone amplifier before the line level output from the LOR controller goes into the input of my A/V receiver. I'm curious opinions though... With it being so close to Christmas I really hope there's a pretty simple solution, it seems to me increasing the audio input into my A/V receiver should do the trick since it's clearly low.

Thanks!

i also use the mp3 directer and do not have this problem you are having.I ran all of my songs through mp3 gain and adjusted all the outputs the same.Heres a download link for mp3 gain.It will adjust a whole folder at once if you want.
