The difference between Volume and Gain, and ”loudness” overall (Audio Engineering)

Answer 1

Difference Between Gain vs. Volume. Gain is the input level within the amps; volume is the output level that goes to the speaker. Gain allows adjusting the tone of an audio track, whereas volume affects its loudness only.

so think of it like this…you have a speaker connected to your computer. The speaker has a volume control…your computer also has a volume control which in this case will be your GAIN…if your gain is low and you turn up the volume on the speakers they wont get loud unless the gain is turned up.
