Re volume - on electronic devices with audio that goes digital-to-analog, the volume control (especially on software like Android) is often a software-based volume control. While hardware/analog volume controls (like those on many stereo systems) are essentially potentiometers and only affect the amplitude/voltage of the complete wave via electronic resistance, software controls basically multiply the individual samples by the volume factor AND often performs clipping on the samples if their amplitudes reach above a given threshold (usually the digital value 1.0 in a 0.0-1.0 sample value scale). Changing the amplitude of the samples (especially clipping) before they're sent to the DAC will change the color of the resulting complete wave AND its "volume," while changing the amplitude of the complete wave in hardware via a hardware volume knob will retain its color while still changing its volume.
