Sample Volume is lower in Pattern Editor/Instruments Tab

[leonard]

Hello guys! Just started using OpenMPT a few days ago and really loving it.

I noticed that when I play a sample in the pattern editor or instruments tab, the volume sounds a lot lower than when I just play it from the actual sample properties tab.
Is this intentional? (and if it is which volume is intended to be the "right" one?)
I tried googling and searching the forums for an answer but I couldn't seem to find one, it feels like a simple question so I hope it didn't just go over my head. 

For context, this happens even when I make a completely new IT. file and load a sample in without other modifications or effects.

Welcome to the forums!
When you preview a sample in the sample editor, it is always played with the maximum volume (as if there was a v64 command next to a note in the pattern). In the instrument and pattern editor, the sample is played at its default volume instead. So it sounds like you have specified a default volume for your sample which is lower than 64. If this wasn't intentional, you can change it to 64 and it will sound the same when previewed anywhere.

Hey, thank you for the welcome and advice! 
I checked and made sure there was a v64 command next to my note, but it still sounds lower than it did in the sample editor (and it sounds lower in the instruments tab as well).
I did notice a small line of text at the bottom that I think implies the channel volume may be only at 40, though. I wonder if this is the issue? But when I check the channel settings in both the general tab and the channel itself, it does say it's set to 64.


Perhaps I accidentally messed with some presets somewhere?
I'll attach the IT. file in case it could be of use. Really appreciate the help!

Oh, I think I've figured it out!
I seem to have disabled the "No loud sample preview" option in the setup general tab.
Enabling it again synced up the volume between all the different pages. 
Sorry for the trouble, but thank you for letting me bounce the problem here while going through it!
(Still no idea why Vol is listed as "40" in the image above though!)

Yeah I was just going to suggest that you may have toggled that setting.

The thing you pointed out in the status bar is the channel volume, which is expressed in hexadecimal (64 decimal = 40 hexadecimal), because it represents the parameter of the Mxx command, and parameters of the effect column are always expressed in hex.
