My external sound module has not changed in volume since the bug was introduced. I have tape markings on all the volume controls so I'm 100% sure that has not changed. Another workaround that I've used it to "render with options..." and select "normalize" on all tracks. Then when I bring the tracks into Logic the MIDI tracks will actually be a bit louder than I want, but better a bit louder than too soft. There were a lot of complaints on the Apple forums about this problem a year or two ago, and I'm told that 10.8 is still low when compared to 10.5, but I guess folks have just learned to live with it. Apple did acknowledge on one of my bug reports, that it was a known issue, and it would be looked into. Maybe they just wanted to shut me up. - Jay MacPro 5,1/12 core@3.46GHz -- OS X 10.15.7 -- ATI 7970 -- 32 Gig RAM -- Crucial 500GB OS SSD -- Samsung EVO 1TB Audio/Sample SSD -- BIAB 2024 -- Logic Pro X -- Cubase Elements 14 -- Too many plugins

I have no idea how well it works, but it looks very interesting for compiling your own custom GM soundfont that could then play right from within BIAB. http://sonicamigos.com/polyphontics/ I bought it some years ago... a waste of money Macbook M2 Pro 32 GB ram \| OSX 13.6 \| BinaB 2023 \| Logic Studio XI \|

Find it from this link: http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=5282734#5282734 Well even if the DLS player is playing low volume, at least you can load the DLS AU in your DAW of choice and use this soundfont for a nice GM playback device.
