Subject: System audio recording have very low amplitude

Hello,
I’m using sox to record the audio produced by the system (i.e. from the OS and other running apps), but the recordings sound very quiet.
I first create a virtual input/output device using Blackhole (https://github.com/ExistentialAudio/BlackHole/ <https://github.com/ExistentialAudio/BlackHole/>) or Loopback (https://rogueamoeba.com/loopback/ <https://rogueamoeba.com/loopback/>). I then start playback of a file using iTunes, and start recording thus:
rec --rate 44100 --channels 2 --no dither test-output.aiff
(Note that this spits out the following error messages:
rec WARN formats: can't set sample rate 44100; using 48000
rec WARN formats: can't set 2 channels; using 16
However, test-output.aiff ends up being a stereo file at 44.1 kHz)
test-output.aiff properly records system audio, but the mean amplitude is about half the mean amplitude of the original sounds I played back.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Ariel
