FEATURE REQUEST: Allow us to boost the volume in the emulator. Right now it's at 100% by default, i.e. you can only make it quieter. I'd like to be able to make it louder (the RP5 with JamesDSP app has limited speaker volume). #289

Pretty self-explanatory request.

The Retroid Pocket 5 is a handheld that can run NetherSX2 pretty well. However, it has poor audio EQ out of the box. The community has come together with a simple fix, using the JamesDSP app with a custom EQ which improves the audio tremendously. However, it comes at the cost of some maximum volume due to how the EQ is tweaked. For some reason the JamesDSP app doesn't have a simple volume gain function either (even though it's literally an audio app), so I guess I should go bother them too.

In RetroArch you can set a custom volume gain, so this is a non-issue for all those older consoles. Their volumes also tend to be balanced better, so it's not even really needed to adjust the gain most of the time.

The default volume in NetherSX2 on the RP5 however is rather quiet. I would describe the volume as average, when it's set all the way to max in both the handheld and the emulator. So there's no headroom.

You can just use earbuds, and for some reason the volume is totally fine then. But it'd be nice to be able to adjust the device speaker volume too.
