How do I set the record gain for the record command as shown below? The volume of the recorded files are too low.

exten =\> s,n,Record(${FILE-NAME}:${ENCODE\_TYPE})

And there is not an option on the Record() cmd for increase the gain. Try using the sox tool for increase the again of you audio file.
