Difference in volume with CD and ogg file

I just realized that there's lots of difference in volume when I play the CD (I use Quintessential Player + DFX plug-in) and when I play the vorbis file of the same song (I use EAC to rip with all drive settings meticulously set, with Ogg quality 6). When I increase the volume to hear the differences of the originial cd song with the compressed file, there's lots of hissing added.

I don't understand the problem. Do you have an idea why EAC ripped track volume could be lower than the actual volume (I don't set any normalizations, etc.)? or is this effect just a result of my player software? What step is probably causing this? Is it related to gain?

Thanks...

I don't use quintessential player, but I'd guess it'd be similiar to winamp in that it uses different eq's for different inputs.

Check CD and WAVE volume in Windows Mixer Settings..

Or if you are using Replay Gain deactivate it.

Hmm funny, that solves my problem. But Quintessential player sets the wave volume to very low each time it starts up. I don't understand. I'm looking for a setting of volume but couldn't see so far.

There should be a option/setting that controls this. Media Jukebox ( v8 ) also has this ability, but it's turned off by default.
