- The Amiga has 8 bit sound by standard. But it also has 6 bit volume
- registers for each sound channel which can be adjusted independently
- from the main sound. And 6+8 bit is 14 bit as far as I know. It seems
- easy, but needs a whole lot of CPU power doing this, while normal 8-bit
- can be handled directly by DMA. Another problem is that you will have to
- calibrate the programs to your speakers.

- Download those programs, they probably have a more detailed explanation!
