You can use audacity to increase the volume of either an MP3 or OGG track. I don't remember the exact tool, but play around with effects like amplify and you should be able to get it. That or someone more knowledgeable will correct me.

Two ways to increase volume in Sins. The first is to increase the track's volume. I don't use Audacity personally but it should still be straight forward. Be sure to avoid clipping the peaks and causing distortion.


The second way is to go into SoundEffects.sounddata file and play with the settings.

effect
    name "ah_banecustom_fire_var2"
    fileName "AH_Banecustom_fire02.ogg"
    type "Effect"
    is3D TRUE
    priority 5
    threshold 6000.000000
    minAttenuationDist 3000.000000
    maxNumPlayingSimultaneously 5
    isLooping FALSE
    isResident TRUE
    minRespawnTime 0.1
    fadeInTime 0

 

Theshold is the maximum distance the sound will play at.

MinAttenuationDist is the game distance from the camera when the sound starts to fade out, until it reaches Threshold and you cannot hear it anymore. By raising these numbers you can make the sound more dominant and from a longer range.
