Some of your mp3's probably contains ReplayGain tags which is a standard to make all music sound equally loud. With much modern music being mastered at terrible loud levels (see Loudness War), it is often lowered a lot to meet the 89dB ReplayGain default. I know that Winamp has implemented it too, but I'm not familar with it's compatibility with foobar2000.

You can of course disable ReplayGain completely in Preferences (Ctrl+P) under Playback (Set Source mode to None).

My recommendation: You should ReplayGain* all your music and turn up the volume on your amp a bit

* Rightclick file(s) -> ReplayGain -> Scan selection as Albums or Scan per-file track gain. You can even create an autoplaylist that contains all music files that has this missing, to ease batch scanning. Library -> Seach, enter:
Code: [Select]

Can't wait for a HD-AAC encoder :P
